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.

I've never glued a pair of grips. Them shits just stay put by themselves.

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
