I had a set of ProGrips once. They weren't a huge improvement over the stock grips. The only advantages I see with aftermarket grips are cost and looks.

Haha that's right.....But you know what...I'm gonna need an H7 HID kit since the yellow bulb you gave me was an H4 and I like the yellow on top.....Correct me if I'm wrong, but you need an H4 right, and not an H7?

Yeah, H4. Too bad I'm short on cash, or else I'd pick up a set. Damn holiday season. Oh, and now Valentine's...

About how much are those running? I'm going to be machining some clip-ons for the ninja, so I might as well get some new grips while I'm at it, instead of trying to re-use the old ones.

Also, has anyone tried the Progrip Street Gel Grips?

Its kinda like shoes. They wear out over time, so you replace them with something
you like. The grips that were on my f4i when i bought it are half decent, so i didnt
replace them yet. I will this season though. I have always liked the way the
galindos feel, so thats my choice.
