FAQs

What type of riding are these grips best suited for?

The Pro Taper Single Density Half Waffle Grips are versatile and well-suited for motocross, off-road, trail riding, and general street use due to their balanced design.

Are these grips comfortable for long rides?

The half waffle pattern provides ergonomic support and a secure feel, which can contribute to comfort on longer rides by reducing hand fatigue.

What is the difference between single density and dual density grips?

Single density grips use one material compound throughout, offering a consistent feel and durability. Dual density grips combine softer and firmer materials to potentially offer enhanced vibration damping and grip comfort.

Do I need to use grip glue?

It is highly recommended to use grip glue for a secure and permanent installation, especially for off-road or high-performance riding. Check the manufacturer's recommendation for your specific application.

How do I clean these grips?

Clean the grips with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. Avoid using petroleum-based solvents, as they can damage the rubber compound.

What size handlebars do these grips fit?

These grips are designed to fit standard 7/8" diameter handlebars.

How long do these grips typically last?

Grip longevity varies greatly depending on riding frequency, style, and conditions. However, Pro Taper grips are known for their durability.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or are slipping.

Ensure grip glue was used and allowed to cure properly. Re-apply grip glue if necessary, making sure the handlebar and inside of the grip are clean.

Throttle is sticking.

Check that the throttle tube is not being obstructed by the grip. Ensure the grip is trimmed properly if it's interfering with the throttle housing and that the throttle tube rotates freely before installing the grip.

Grips are difficult to slide on.

Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or grip glue to the inside of the grip and the handlebar to help them slide on. Ensure you have the correct grip size for your handlebars.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation typically involves sliding the grips onto the handlebar ends. For a secure fit, it is recommended to use grip glue specifically designed for motorcycle grips. Ensure the throttle tube rotates freely before riding. Clean the inside of the grip and the handlebar before applying glue.

Compatibility: These grips are designed to fit standard 7/8" handlebars. Always confirm your handlebar diameter before purchase. They are compatible with most clutch and throttle cable systems.

Care: Clean the grips regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the grip material. A damp cloth is usually sufficient for routine cleaning. Inspect grips for wear periodically.
