Handgrips How observant are you?

[telecasterguru]

I was looking over my newly arrived RGS this morning and low and behold I found that the hand grips on the bike are different. Not very observant am I when in the lustful buying frenzy.

Now I need to get them both the same. Which grips should be on the RGS?

Pictures are below of the two grips currently on the bike.

Don't care what grips I select, they all wear out. I liked the Oakley's, great design but terrible compound and turned to gum. I always add a rubber strip to the throttle grip to egg shape them then wrap the throttle grip with electrical tape - 1/4 turn with a cable Tommaselli throttle control - Wowa!

The right one is the right one Frank.

And a pain on your nick with your wrist for the throttle

The left hand clutch grip can be round but the right hand throttle grip has to be Egg Shaped.

The right one is the right one Frank.

It is the right one with the slot to fit over the raised part of a stock throttle tube ...... unless the ridge has been removed.

Useless arguing with rivet counters.

I've only found 2 rivets on my 3C ....... and they're not stock.

All you need is good solid rubber grips that feels comfortable don't slip, don't gum up and don't disintegrate and I highly recommend an Egg Shaped throttle grip as it has less tenancy to slip through your palm.

Just how strong are them throttle springs you're using - Personally I would not use that Rivet Counter OEM throttle grip when my life depends on it unless I modified it.

Wanna race? Grip design is important.

Don't think that factory OEM spec's is religion; it's just a mean - It's all up to you and that's what I like about the Breganzie theorem regarding motorcycling  - Right down to the throttle grip.

........ and I highly recommend an Egg Shaped throttle grip

What kind of egg? I mean there's ostrich eggs ..... and there's quails eggs ......

Personally, I really like some of the grips from Jap sports bikes - think the last ones I fitted were from a Honda Firebalde ... many years ago.

A few weeks back I noticed I had a black brake lever and a polished clutch lever, got the later powdercoated and now it's lovely and balanced.

 

[telecasterguru]

That is exactly what I need to do, get the balance right.

I got mine satin black at Brookvale Powder Coating for $20.You would be luck this close to the holidays though

And who laid the Scotch egg?

And who laid the Scotch egg?

I experienced the Scotch egg with a runny yolk ...... not pretty.

And who laid the Scotch egg?

You're moving out today: The grocer told me what you do with bread .................... and the Scotch eggs.

 

[Vince]

The local gourmet cafe in McMahons Point, under the Harbour bridge used to do a Scotch egg meatloaf roll, with a Chutney Glaze. Hard to only buy one slice.

These are without question the best grips I've ever used.
