Yes. There are two grips included with this.
People, these grips come in two sizes. They're for bikes that have a throttle tube on one side and a regular bar on the other. So, for the throttle tube, you'll get two sizes of grips: one that's 7/8" and another that's 1".
On a TTR125, yes, those are standard 7/8 bars.
Yes, it was compatible with my Yamaha WR 450 motorcycle. grips are a little tight, but they're great
Selected User Reviews For Pro Taper Pillow Top MX Grips - Black/Grey/Blue
Grip is very comfortable! They do get dirty, but I found that hosing them off removed most of the dirt. They provide excellent grip and are very comfortable on longer rides. I installed them on a 2001 Yamaha WR426 and they were a perfect fit. My motorcycle is equipped with mirrors and is street legal. Because the mirrors attach to the end of the handlebar, I had to cut the grips off at the ends. Because it was easy to cut with a razor, it appears that the manufacturer was anticipating this. br>br>I found them simple to install on my bike; the most difficult part was removing the old grips, which had been adhered to my bike with hairspray or another type of adhesive. The old grips had to be torn off, and the bars were thoroughly cleaned with goof-off. off. Then I used my air compressor to install the grips, which went on easily. I didn't use any adhesive because they were sturdy enough on their own.
Only one piece of advice for setup: Two different sizes are available! Stop and inspect if your little helper has started the smaller one on the throttle side before continuing. It was entirely my fault, and when it came time to do the left side, the remaining grip was far too large. It's too funny not to share; I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who's ever witnessed something like this. Lol.
Overall, I'm a fan of the grips. They're comfortable, and if you've ever installed grips before, you'll find this one to be just as simple. The only reason for the three stars is that after only two rides, the right hand grip is beginning to tear. I'm not sure if it was just a fluke, but the next time I try it, I'll try a different type.
Work is fantastic. The stock grips on my yz250x gave me blisters and left black residue on my hands, so I replaced them. I've had no issues with these except for a shaky grip due to a lack of glue. My hands feel very comfortable with the grips, which are both soft and grippy. They don't cause blisters on my hands, despite the fact that I ride without gloves the majority of the time; you can't go wrong with these. In comparison to the stock grips, I also noticed a slight reduction in vibrations through my hand.
I bought the white and blue grips, they look sharp, and I'll probably stick with these groups in the future. I drove several hundred miles of trails on a trip a few weeks ago and the grips felt perfect; I bought the white and blue grips, they look sharp, and I'll probably stick with these groups in the future.
On my grom, it looks great with the ProTaper bars. Way more comfortable than stock grips and even the Pillow top lite versions. Last time I ordered those by accident, and they weren't nearly as thick and cushy as these. br>br>With a little sticky hairspray, it's simple to install. These grips are likely to last 6 months or more. 8 months.
On all of my bikes, I've used these grips for years. (DRZ400SM, CR250, KX250, XR650R/L, KLR650, XR650R/L, CR250, KX250, XR650R/L, KLR650, XR650R These are the only dirt bike grips I'll ever use! They're extremely comfortable, long-lasting, and significantly reduce arm pump and vibration. I strongly advise any rider to give them a try! Give them a try if they fit your bars.
These were purchased after my son was hit by a car and his bike was totaled, necessitating the replacement of the handlebar. We decided to repair the bicycle ourselves. These grips are so much better than the dual sport grips that come with the bike! After a long day of riding, you won't get calluses. They're super comfy, and they're just tacky enough that you can hold on to them without grabbing your gloves. I hope I won't have to buy them again, but if I do, these will be the ones I choose.
