Needing a new set of grips.. Looked on ebay seemingly had endless pairs for $10 range. Wanting a set that cuts down vibration. Will the bar and weighs help with that or not? I have the genetic foam ones now that are not so foamy any more.. Thanks

I have Biltwell Kung Fu grips on mine and really like them. I got them in the "natural" color for $18 shipped. Weights should help some.

I got some Bike Master blue grips with the chrome trim and soft rubber. Chrome rubbed off and the rubber is coming apart in chunks. Looked good and worked...For a while. :dry:

I bought Oury grips they had a ton of positive reviews. Real bar end weights will help, that's what they were designed for. I bought Renthal Super bike bars this time the wall thickness is twice what my old bars are. They are also supposed to cut down on vibration.
Unfortunately the bike is not finished yet so I can't give you personal feed back yet.

I'd vote for OURY grips as well. I use them on all my bikes. They are great. They do get a little sticky if left in the Texas heat for a long time. But I wouldn't use anything else. Z1 has them at a great price.

OURY gets my vote as well. Great grips go on all my bikes.
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.
