Selected User Reviews For Progrip 714BK Black 125mm Dual Sport Gel Grip
On my TW200, I'm very pleased with these grips. These grips are a little thicker than usual, so they provide a great gripping surface. They'll fit any motorcycle with a 7/8-inch handlebar, which is most. Several indentations for safety wire have been molded into the grips, keeping it out of your hands. Also, if you use bar ends or hand guards like I do, the ends are molded for easy cutting.
- Cushioning is excellent
br> The shape is ideal for my medium-sized hands. br>- They keep their tack even when wet. br>- On my SR400, I've noticed a significant reduction in vibration. br> For bar end grips, it's simple to trim. br>- Exceptional fit with no slippingbr>- They appear to be fantastic. br>br>Cons:
- br>br>Tip: In the summer, black is hot, hot, hot. br>br> After removing your old grips, punch a tiny hole in the tip with an air compressor to install these. They'll get better on their own. Grasp the bar's end with the grip. They won't slip if you inflate and push on the grip at the same time!
- Road grit is retained by the dimples.
Comfortable and well-ventilated, allowing the warmth of my grip to pass through. br>I covered both sides of my grip warmer heating elements with a thin layer of cork. I was still able to get these over it all with compressed air, so there was no need to buy two sets and use both throttle grips. Although adding the cork to the throttle side thickened the grip, I think I'll remove it because the plastic throttle tube doesn't absorb heat as well. Anyway, they're great flexible grips, and I didn't have to use any glue to keep them in place.
I've owned and operated a small motorcycle shop for the past 12 years, and I'm pretty sure I've handled almost every grip made. These are what I use to replace all of my personal bicycles. The tiny hols allow moisture and water to pass through, and the compound is soft and comfortable. (I mostly ride dual sport bikes. ) On a round-the-world trip, I even used heated undergrip elements, which worked flawlessly. It is highly recommended.
It gives me a good feeling. These were purchased as a replacement for my cruiser's original grips. I removed the larger ring to make it easier for my thumb to reach the starter and horn. It gives me a good feeling. It's not as big as the kury, but it's a step up from the stock. Put on and take off with ease. They didn't require any adhesive and had a good grip on the bar. I sprayed them with WD40 and waited 30 seconds for them to stick without the use of glue. br>Recent changes: I went out and bought a second set for my scooter. Both bikes are Hondas, and this grip is slightly larger than OEM, but not quite as big as the Kury's. br>They are firm enough to use the Go Cruz throttle lock, as some grips are so soft that they twist, and I have upgraded my rating to 5 stars after using them for a while.
I used to have these on my DR650, and now I have them on my Beta 520 RS. When riding on rough trails, they keep blisters at bay at the base of my fingers. br>I also like how the fatter grips feel in my hands. br>Be sure to clean the bars thoroughly before installing them; I used compressed air to install them and they do not move. br>Update: These grips have logged 10,000 miles/300 hours and still look brand new. br>I also bought another set for my KTM 1190 adventure R, which required a little hairspray and wrangling to fit over the grip heating element and make the bike much more comfortable for longer rides.
They're on two of my enduros, and one of my friends swears by them. They're thicker to accommodate larger hands. They dampen vibrations and provide a secure grip without being overly so. When riding off-road, you may experience a crash. In the event of a crash, an overly grippy grip is difficult to let go of, resulting in bent fingers or damaged equipment. I haven't had that issue with the Progrip 714, but renthal waffles and pro taper pillow grips have. In addition, unlike some of the other types, the Progrip 714 does not flake or break up. I ride with mechanix synthetic gloves and klim suede, which provide excellent grip in wet, dry, hot, cold, and grip heated conditions. comes with a sticker of the Italian flag from Progrip. Perfetto!.
I despise giant puffy foam grips and the like, as they give me hand cramps when I hold onto them. These are a very soft tacky rubberlike substance with a texture that feels good with or without gloves that helps with vibration. I know I should wear gloves all the time, and I do most of the time, but they feel fine without them. It has enough give and cushion without being too thick or mushy thanks to the hole pattern. I'd like to get some grips for my handguns that have the same texture. br>br>I agree that the tackiness is just right. I can basically rest my hand on the handle bar without the throttle slipping, whether I'm wearing my regular unlined gloves or thicker insulated gloves. On a long trip, with thick gloves and the foam style, I have to grip the throttle tightly and shuffle it around to maintain the same setting, which causes a cramp. br>br>Another advantage of the grip is that it can be used with a cramp buster because the diameter is normal and not oversized. It's something I only do on long trips, but it's nice to have the option. br>br>I should also mention that several of my friends who tried out my bike grabbed the handlebars without prompting and immediately commented on how much better these grips feel than theirs. It's a basic and inexpensive part, but sometimes simple is best. br>br>I purchased two pairs of these after the first was shredded in a car accident. It was a no-brainer to buy them again.
