Default aftermarket grips

I think the brand is Harris?

Do these "softer" grips kill some of the vibrations?
Every decent grip I have been checking out,are made in Italy.
I overheard a guy say he can wear his grips down in about 3 months.

I basically want something softer,to kill the vibrations,and last for a decent time frame.

Im not really into the fancy graphics on the grips.

So post what you know.

Renthal Mediums. They are def softer and feel way better then stock.

The renthal softs dont last long. So dont get those.

I thought Renthal was only dirt bike products?
Anyone sell these local so I can check them out in person?
Do you think this will kill some of the handel bar vibrations (636 problem)?

We sell all three compounds of the Renthal Grips at Cycle Gear. You are more than welcome to come in and give them a squeeze.

To comment on the Harris grips, from my experience and from what I've heard from others, they are complete trash and are actually more slippery than sticky. They are mostly made for looks since they usually say "GSXR" or "Kawasaki" or something of the likes on them. If not the Renthal's, then I would look into some of the Progrips or the Spider Grips.

just a good tip to help get these one. spray hairspray inside of them than slide them on, the ahirspray before it dries makes it like lubrication and than it dries and makes like a glue that wont f*ck up ur bars if u ever decide to change them out again.
