Still deals! for handlebars and components

I have used Grab-On products, particularly the foam grips, for many years. They don't work with weights or mirrors on the ends of the handlebars, which is why I use these cases. Honda's factory grips are flimsy and stiff, and I don't even like short bumps. I buy them to put on factory grips and all is right with the world. Installation is easy, but requires a little preparation and patience. The ends of the arms are flared so gliding doesn't really work. Take some soapy water and grease the inside of the Grab-On bodies and the grip. Place the end of the sleeve over the bell and then push the sleeve inward by twisting it back and forth. It's important to cover the inside of the lid, as well as the handle, and work fairly quickly. When the water dries, the lid snaps into place. Hairspray works well too, but you'll need to work quickly as it dries faster. All of this takes about the same or even less time than reading. Do it once and it will be even faster next time. These cases wear very well and don't seem to have any UV issues. This size should fit any bike with a 7/8 inch handlebar, which is pretty much all Japanese bikes and more. The throttle side is a little thicker, but that's ok. you will fit. They add some softness and diameter to the handlebars. Factory grips and absorb small vibrations PRO TIP: Remove the Honda grips and replace them with softer, more comfortable grips Many riders find that the Honda grips don't suit them. They were purchased with my own money and I received no discount for my objective (and subjective where indicated) evaluation.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • The list will be long.
