Driven Grips

R1up0n1 · 05-31-2008, 10:21 PM

I just ordered a set of black driven gel grips for my R1.
I've been doing some research and everyone is raving about these....so I figured I'd give them a shot. I got them for $17.00 no shipping. Some places were 12, but shipping costs took them over $23.00

I've used progrips in the past, but they always wore down so quickly, and when I wrecked my old R1 both grips flew off to god knows where and no one was ever able to find them...so hopefully these Driven grips will be a lot better.

even w/ grip glue they flew off?

R1up0n1 · 05-31-2008, 10:27 PM

yeah...but I didn't cake on the grip glue last time....I think this time I will, but not too excessive.

However with the speed I wrecked at....those grips probably wouldn't have held on too well with excessive amount of grip glue.

dont over do it. too much and you'll get an uneven feel, i've heard.

I'll just put a few strips down the bar that will hold it. I don't want the shit oozing out on the edges.

after all, if you were to go down, is the first thing your going to be thinking about your 17 dollar grips or your 7.5k bike anyways, hah.

I use nothing to glue the grips. Blow them bitches up like a balloon with a compressor and slide them right on. Never had issue with them moving.

The progrips I had slid all over the damn place before I took them off. I didn't like the feel anyway, so I put the stockers back on. Never had a problem since. 10,000 miles on the stock grips and they don't show any wear.
