I just ordered a set of black driven gel grips for my R1.
I've been doing some research and everyone is raving about these....so I figured I'd give them a shot. I got them for $17.00 no shipping. Some places were 12, but shipping costs took them over $23.00 I've used progrips in the past, but they always wore down so quickly, and when I wrecked my old R1 both grips flew off to god knows where and no one was ever able to find them...so hopefully these Driven grips will be a lot better. ![]() http://www.motomummy.com/store/produ...2&cat=0&page=1 |

yeah...but I didn't cake on the grip glue last time....I think this time I will, but not too excessive.
However with the speed I wrecked at....those grips probably wouldn't have held on too well with excessive amount of grip glue. |

I use nothing to glue the grips. Blow them bitches up like a balloon with a compressor and slide them right on. Never had issue with them moving.

The progrips I had slid all over the damn place before I took them off. I didn't like the feel anyway, so I put the stockers back on. Never had a problem since. 10,000 miles on the stock grips and they don't show any wear.
