I put these bars on today and some ProGrip grips that Iggy recomended for less vibs. Pretty sweet grips, need to wire them I think cause they have the grooves for it. Who has some wire and them fancy pliers?

if you put grips on properly you dont need no stinkin saftey wire
i use brake cleaner give the grips a good shot slide them on and let them sit overnight... there will be NO slipping... and to remove... run a razor blade lengthwise and peel off.. clean off any rubber residue with brake cleaner again
Those are good lookin grips though. I prefer spyder grips.

That's funny, the grips I just removed were Spyder grips. I liked them fine, but these are more cusioned to kill the vibs better. I was able to remove the old grips without cutting them though, so if I need to they can go back on.

Actually Rob129 gets credit for the grips.
Only prob I see with them is holding water and mud, usually not a prob out west.
I don't use the wire. Brake or carb cleaner works real good and you can lift up one side to evaporate the cleaner faster.
P&P you have the link to order them. I need a new set.
