Handlebar grips
« on: October 01, 2024, 12:18:26 »
Any recommendations for replacement grips. My old Oxford heated grips don't work anymore and the rubber has gone all sticky. I just need some ordinary grips as where I am it doesn't get cold enough for heated grips. I looked and some pairs say 22mm left and 1inch right to go over throttle control. Some just say pair 22mm grips. Don't want to end up with a pair where the right hand one won't go on the the throttle.

Renthal.
Sportsbikeshop for instance but a more local supplier is probably an option.

Thank you. I'm in the UK next month in Leeds, so I'll have a look in Sportsbikeshop there.

I use Renthal grips (the grey one's) over my Oxford heated grips. Just cut the ends off, place in hot water awhile and squeeze on, much more grip.
