So it is time for some new grips.

I need to install new grips on my 2000 vfr. What are you all using? Looking for comfort and good grip.

 

Pro Grip in yellow - assuming you have factory paint on your 5th gen....
Pro Grip 724 Dual Density Road Grip - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore

 

I just put the pro grip 724s on after reading the positive feedback they get on here.
I have to hit a stretch of slab for my work commute and my right had would be asleep in a minute.
With these new grips I got a few tingles but nowhere near the flat out numbness.
I put them on without grip glue, and there is some twisting. I'm going to redo them this winter with glue..

 

I use safety wire combined with glue to keep mine from spinning. There is usually groves in the grips for the wire. I had the progrip superbike grip I can't remember the number on for about two years. Figured I could stand some slimmer grips as I hadn't had anymore nmbness . That first ride back on slimmer grips and my hands mainly my right one were going numb to the point of hurting . Went back to the pro grip and the numbness was gone

 

I like the Pro-Grip gel type grips. I put on a set of 842's and I really like them, but in the past I have shopped around and REALLY liked the 714's as well.

Here is a link to how I made some 814's fit.

don't laugh, but I use break cleaner to hold mine in place. Spray the insides of them good, slide them on (acts like a lube to slide them on) then once the break cleaner eats away the rubber a little, it melts them to the plastic. Sounds harsh, but never had any problems. Ever. When I put them on, I use my hand to support it, holding it on and just use my other hand to slide it on. works great, takes longer to remove the old ones before putting the new ones on. Replaced the factory grips after about 1 month of new, and never given me any issues.

 

I've used hair spray before. Acts as lube going on but acts as glue once dry and its cheap
