I'm needing some new grips for my '01 x1 I have crossroads bars I'm about to throw on so I might as well put some new grips on. Any suggestions? I was looking at the gel grips maybe.
Thanks

they have all different patterns, just type harris grips into the search bar on ebay. i was expecting cheap cheesy crappy grips when i ordered mine, complete opposite, they are a bit on the harder compiound side with small grooves horizontally, but they are of extreme quality

I like the factory Pegasus grip's on the xb's
But the traction one's are so much more comfortable.

i like (forgive me) the triumph factory grips. i have had them on a few bikes, they are a good compromise to thickness versus hardness and look good, nothing special, and fairly cheap. couldn't find a pic online, i'll try to get one later.

Am I the only one that doesn't like buell's traction grips? They gave me cramps in my palms.

I switched my traction grips out last week for Suzuki grips which look like OEM Buell grips just softer.

renthal roadrace full diamond kevlar

They're soft and thin with great feel. I hate huge grips.
