Hey I just checked with my buddy at it appears they did have a recall about a year or so ago. He even had problems with a set of grips that he had to ream out to get them working. They have fixed the problem and he hasn't had any worries since.

Just put a set of these on the Repsol, again no problems during the install. Although they are gel grips, they seem a little tighter on the bars than their other gel grips.
I tell you, I can't put my finger on it, but the new throttle tube just feels better. I really like the feel on the both bikes and now I'm thinking of picking up another set for the 900RR, although I just replace the grips last week.

You don't have to mess with glue, they're easy to put on/take off over and over.

your a lucky sob
i have had to buy soft, i mean really soft grips since i shattered my right hand playing football a few years back, grip slippage sucks... i am still trying to find a good glue to get super soft compounds to stay stuck, if i dont the vibes kill my hand and make it so i cant even twist the throttle |
