Does anyone have a recommendation for new grips? I am finding that the stock grips are too small and I need something a bit fatter - also, would a larger grip interfere with the clutch and brake levers... Thanks

Russ

No, you should be fine. I like the old skool Grand Turismo grips, but everyone is different, find what you like, take some windex and loosen the crappie gips that came with the bike and slip your new ones on - HUGE difference, you will love it.

I personally love the old Beston GT grips, commonly referred to as Football Grips. They're very difficult to find in the necessary 1"-1-1/8"ID size.

Hey Russ, I've been using "ProGrip" off road grips/gel touch
#714. I'm on my second pair of these and think that they are the most comfortable I've found and are only $7.95 pr. They are sized for 7/8" bars but I was able to easily blow them on with air and haven't had any problem with slipping.null

found this on ebay, get the idea even if they are the wrong color.. unless you like the orange..
hopefully you can find them in black, and the price is more here as well.
