Default Handle Bar Grips

As most of you know, stock grips are really uncomfortable to for long duration or short rides. So, I've been looking around here and there trying to find some good grips.

Any suggestions on brand or supplier?

I dont see how different grips are more comfortable then others. I have never had a problem with comfort with my stock grips on short or long rides. I know most people get aftermarket ones for the look. I might be wrong but if you are getting new ones for more comfort then it might be a waste of money. Try getting a nice pair of riding gloves that has helped me tons. Hope it helps be safe

Thanks as well...I need to get a pair of gloves soon as well, they can be expensive for a good pair.

FITZ, thanks for the suggestion. Those are nice gloves, and I've heard a lot about the Aplinestars rider-wear. I almost bought them at Cycle Gear. I think I will go back and buy them when I get my next pay check

I have a jacket, and some cheap boots from payless. I am only lacking the gloves, and obviously I wear a helmet.
