Product Information
Full details
The Domino Road Racing Grip is for competitive road racers seeking enhanced control and comfort. Its key benefit is the dual-compound design, offering a firm inner grip for stability and a soft outer for vibration absorption and superior hold. A potential caveat is their open-ended design, which may require specific bar end considerations for some setups. These grips feature a unique 2-color, dual-compound construction for optimal performance.

FAQs
Are these grips suitable for all types of motorcycles?
These grips are specifically designed for road racing and are suitable for 22mm handlebars. While they can be used on other motorcycles, their performance characteristics are optimized for competitive road riding.
Do I need to buy special glue for these grips?
Yes, a dedicated motorcycle grip adhesive is recommended for secure installation. This is typically not included with the grips.
How long are the Domino Road Racing Grips?
The grips have a standard length of 126mm.
Can I use these grips with heated handlebars?
These grips do not have integrated heating elements. If you have heated handlebars, ensure the material compatibility and check if the heating elements could affect the grip's dual-compound structure.
How do I clean the grips to maintain their grip?
Clean regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the rubber compounds.
What does 'dual-compound' mean for grip performance?
It means the grip is made of two different types of rubber. A firmer material on the inside ensures the grip stays put on the handlebar without twisting, while a softer material on the outside absorbs vibrations and provides a better feel and hold.
Can I cut these grips if they are too long?
These grips are 126mm long, which is standard. They are open-ended, allowing for bar ends. Cutting them may compromise the structural integrity and the dual-compound benefits, so it is not recommended.
Troubleshooting
Grips feel loose or twist on the handlebar.
Ensure you used a high-quality grip adhesive and allowed it to cure completely. Clean the handlebar thoroughly before installation. If the issue persists, consider re-installing with fresh adhesive.
Throttle or clutch side feels stiff.
Check for any binding on the throttle tube or clutch perch. Ensure the grip is not installed too far inward, obstructing controls. Verify that no excess glue has seeped into the mechanism.
Vibration damping is not as effective as expected.
Confirm that the soft outer compound is facing outwards. Ensure the grip is securely fitted and not slipping, as this can reduce damping effectiveness. Some vibration is inherent to motorcycle riding; these grips aim to reduce, not eliminate it.
Bar ends do not fit properly.
These grips are open-ended to accommodate standard bar ends. If a specific bar end does not fit, check compatibility with the bar end manufacturer. Minor adjustments may be needed depending on the bar end design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: These grips are designed for 22mm (7/8 inch) diameter handlebars, a standard size on most motorcycles. Ensure your handlebars are this diameter before purchase. The grips are 126mm in length and feature an open-ended design.
Setup:
- Ensure handlebars are clean and free of grease or old grip residue.
- Apply a suitable grip adhesive (not included) to the inside of the Domino grips or sparingly to the handlebar ends.
- Carefully slide the grips onto the handlebars, ensuring they are fully seated. For the throttle side, ensure smooth operation without binding.
- If using bar ends, install them according to their manufacturer's instructions.
- Allow the adhesive to cure fully according to its instructions before riding.
Care: Clean the grips regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the dual-compound material. Inspect grips periodically for signs of wear or damage.
