7/8" bars what grip lenght

[tconroy]

i want new grips and never changed them before so what lenght will they be?I have those big cruiser grips and I hate them.Also does anyone have the gel grips or what would you recommend?The cruiser grips are 5 1/4 but they seem to short to me.

5 1/4 is about what I have on my GS 850 bike and that's about right for the brake and clutch levers. I put a set of PRO-GRIPs on mine, they're actually off road grips, not street grips at all. I just liked 'em.

I love my "big cruiser grips" (chrome & rubber) they are 6" long.
Got them from J.C. Whitney $23.00 the numbness in my hands from long rides is gone, and I find they look cool.

What about the throttle side? I have these big foam and chrome grips but the po put them on and they come about a 1/2" away from the round piece that the rubber grips should cover,if ya know what I'm talking about.I will try to post a pic. later. Are those comfortable with that pattern on there?

In between the controls and grip? Whats up with that.The foam is so spongy that after a while I have a death grip on the grip.

Unless you plan on reusing them, just slice them and peel them off. Easy and efficient.
