Driven grips

I have had these on my bike for just over a week! I ride every day and have used grips from several manufacturers & have never seen anything like this in this kind of time frame! At this rate i will have no grip left in less than 6 months! :lol :dunno They are the Driven gel type grips that retail for about $14-.

Wow. That's ugly. I use the OEM or equivalent rubber grips because of all the time my bikes spend getting trailored. Plus, my track gloves are brutal on them as well.

I actually purchased them from a friend & forum member and have not even paid for them yet! They feel great and have a larger diameter surface than OEM! With gloves on i really cannot tell the difference & my only concern is longevity! I have a set of OEMs that i can pit on when these are done! Edit. Found them.

where do u get these grips? and where do u get ur oem grips?

where do u get these grips? and where do u get ur oem grips? OEM from the dealer & these from pretty much most motorcycle shops with a large parts department.

Not sure about the larger diameter surface, but have you looked at the Harris grips? I see a lot of them out and about and they hold up pretty decent.

do u know how much they run for at teh dealer? i need to replace my left one thats why i ask. I am sorry but i dont know. I imagine that they cannot be more than $15- each. They are the standard 7/8 clipon diameter size so you can swap between the years and models!:secret:

i had some gel "pro grip"s do that as well, in the same sort of time frame.

had harris grips b4, found them kinda hard on my palms.... oem ;)

I had the same problem with my Driven grips last season. I put Renthal mediums on this year. I'll see how they hold up.

they give more grip, better for the track where you need it. they dont last as long..
