    pro grips here as well. hair spray trick works great because as it dries it sticks pretty good.

    Thanks for the suggestions..

    I picked up some ProGrip 699s. Small investment big improvement in comfort. Switching to 125mm grip also got rid of the bar end gap that was bothering me.

    Progrip 699s work well. For the install, I followed a recommendation someone had here or some other forum about using rubbing alcohol. Just clean the bar real well and use the alcohol to "lube" the grip onto the bar. After a while, the alcohol evaporates and the rubber grips the metal bar end very well.

    Murphskits has a great grip (they're ProGrips) I put them on all my bikes. $12.50 shipped is a good deal as well.

    Installation with compressed air in about 30 seconds. Cutting for a bar end weight takes a little more....

    I have the same Progrips as Tusk (Rally grip #714). Nice and soft and slightly larger diameter in the middle. If it rains the little dimples hold water though. I like 'em.
