Pro Grip gel grip

[Guest Brent]

There's a lot of grips to choose from, so I was wondering what the part numbers are for the ones you all are using on your LeMans's.

Pro Grip makes a gel grip for dirt bikes that is really terrific. Has a dimpled surface similar to a golf ball, but the dimples go deeper. Retail is $9 per pair. I get them at my local KTM Dealer.

The same company makes street grips, but these are my favorite on the street or on my dirt bike. Most comfortable grip I have ever used.

i agree wich rich - i have used these grips on every sport bike i've owned for the last four years. they are pro grip p/n pg0714 and they are available in many colors. the only thing is that they will need the end cut off to clear the bar weight (not a big deal). if you have trouble finding them, just call me (we always keep at least a couple sets in stock).

Here's a close up of the ones I use. Best grip I have ever used. They're on all three of my bikes. I've used these for almost ten years now.

Thanks for the replies. The local shops didn't have the 714 grip, so I went with the 699. If this isn't much of an improvement over stock, I'll try the 714s next.

I had some kind of Gel Grips installed on my bike since new to lessen vibration. Then I installed my Napoleon bar end mirrors and vibration was not an issue anymore.

 

So recently I reinstalled the factory grips (they were not damaged - taken off the bar using compressed air. Nice trick I learned from my dealer) and surprise! ; the feel of the road through the front wheel and grips is BACK. I did not realize how big difference it makes. There is a reason road racers never use soft grips and no manufacturer installs these on a performance bike.

 

Now I feel so much more secure riding aggresively...Give all the soft grips to Harley riders and other poseurs.
