Default 06 cbr600rr grips..

I need new ones..found a couple decent sites for them. figured I would post up here and get some thoughts and preferences on which brand to get. My bike is red and black. Thought about getting some matching grips. feel free to post up what you have and any that would stand out but not look tacky.
Also if any one has any other sites that would save me money if allowed post up a link. Plan on ordering these tomorrow or tonight if I can

Just bought me some Galindo's from Ebay(15 mins ago)... but they are solid colors. $16 shipped from Michigan. I would check out Ebay. Progrip also makes some that have slots in them and they are colored various colors. My neighbor has them.

For looks, rizoma all day. But for feel and grip renthal is the best IMO.

No experience with Renthal, but I'm liking Rizoma, although the installation was a hassle

Hah I kinda agree with this.

Haven't done the grips on my bike, but the Rizomas do look good. Much more expensive than say the Ebay versions.

But can't speak from any personal experience other than its kind of a pain in the *** to change when I helped my buddy switch his grips.

Personally I think grips are meant to be black. When you start adding other colors and labels on them then it just looks tacky and bad. Get some nice classy black ones.
