Default Looking for hand grips

Hey all,

I have an 01 Honda cbr 600 F4i. My one hand grip on the throttle slides more when I go to give it throttle. So the actual hand grip slides more than the throttle if that makes sense at all. It's putting more strain on my hand. What are good quality hand grips I can purchase? I would appreciate your help.

Driven grips are my favorite. Either the diamonds for a normal style, or the D3's for a cool aluminum look.

Diamond Grippy are what I like, though I'm sure others are good as well.

I like my pro-grip gel ones. They beat the hell out of the stock ones for grip and comfort, and they're only like $15 or so.
Use compressed air to remove/install them. It takes like 2mins. I also used some hairspray inside my new ones to help them slide on and then stick. Don't know how much it helped, but they don't move.

I've always replaced my grips with Pro-Grips using the above method with wifes cheap hairspray. I just replaced the F4i's last weekend as a matter of fact. Speaking of which, I STRONGLY recommend against using any kind of grip glue. The residue is a PITA to remove when it comes time to replace grips. Hairspray alone has always worked like a champ for me, and left no glue residue.

If the OP wants, I can post pics of the new grips.

+1 on progrip gel grips, theyre cheap, comfortable, and they fit a little tighter than oem so you really dont need to use any sort of glue.
