GPW, I've got a question

Are the Rizoma grips slimmer or fatter then stock? And yes they look great.

(black954 @ Feb. 02 2007,20:49) Hey Greg, I had a few questions on the Rizoma grips since you had them on your 06' busa. I was wondering if they are a simple installation or if they require additional modifications. I also would like to know how sturdy they are. I like the stock grips for the fact they are very secure feeling in my hands and I'm too nervous to install aftermaket grips only to have them feel sloppy in my hands when i'm railing pretty hard. I like the look of the all black grips and I assume you can get them. Also if you could PM me a price, that would be great. Thanks, Justin.
Hey black, I don't know if you saw the thread at the time but Greg stocks Spider racing grips in black that look and feel great on the bike. A riding book I just read listed grips as the first thing you should replace on a bike because that is the primary control point of contact. Makes sense!
I went with the Spiders, love 'em. Much more feel, and tack to them- feels like the gloves stick to them so you don't have to grip as hard and your arms don't get tired as fast.
Those do look comfy. I have always used stock grips cause they are made to fit the throtle tube perfectly. I just hate the feeling of the grip not totally glued to the clip-on. I replaced my dirtbike grips all the time cause they would usually start to spin after a few rides, no matter how much wire or glue I used. I might look into those spider grips though.
Put mine on with 3M spray adhesive, have never moved a twitch since.

(GSXTacy @ Feb. 03 2007,14:14) Hey Black, I picked these up cheap on ebay. There my 2nd set only because the red faded after one season. Very comfortable and a little bigger diameter thant he stocks. Pretty soft but fit great. I never used any type of adhesive and the grips have never moved. 1st set had about 14K miles on them. They do come in all black. I will buy another set when I need some.
Hey Chris, where (Ebay store) did you get those sweet a55 grip ?
