Default buying some new grips...

not sure what ones to buy. I've never really cared too much for the sticky grips. of the ones i have tried, i really did like some i had at one point i think they were called super bike grips or something. plain black! i hate all the ones that say "RR" or "GSXR" i think that stuff is all just a little gay... what do you guys prefer?

I use the Renthal grips on my RC51 and like them a lot.

I installed a set of Progrips (after my throttle grip came off in my hand). I also used that Renthal Grip Glue which made it really easy to get on and they haven't budged. Of course it's also 8 bucks.

Another one for regular, thin, Renthal race grips.

next time try using "hair spray" it works just as good, washes off with water. less messy then grip glue.

hairspray's not bad, but it's not good for 110 deg track day temps and twisting the throttle wide open all day. my grips slip all the time, i need to go with a glue next time.
