They offer a key benefit of reducing vibration and providing enhanced dexterity through their slim, textured profile. A potential consideration is their specialized design, which may not be suitable for all handlebar types.

FAQs

Are these grips suitable for all motorcycle types?

These grips are specifically designed for V-Twin motorcycles with 1" handlebars. While they might physically fit other bikes, their design and intended performance are optimized for V-Twins.

What is the main benefit of the textured grip?

The fully textured grip is designed to reduce vibration transmitted to the rider's hands and to provide enhanced dexterity and a more secure hold, especially in wet conditions.

Do I need to use special glue to install these grips?

Yes, a suitable grip adhesive is recommended for secure installation. It's important to use an adhesive designed for rubber grips and follow its application instructions.

How do I clean and maintain the grips?

Clean the grips periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the proprietary compound.

What does 'proprietary compound' mean?

It refers to a unique rubber material formula developed by Thrashin Supply Co. This compound is engineered for durability and specific performance characteristics like vibration dampening and grip texture.

Can these grips be installed on handlebars other than 1 inch?

No, these grips are specifically manufactured for 1" handlebars. Attempting to install them on different sized handlebars is not recommended and may result in a poor fit or unsafe conditions.

Will the red color fade over time?

While the proprietary compound is designed for durability, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over extended periods. Storing your motorcycle in a shaded area can help preserve the color's vibrancy.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel loose or spin on the handlebars.

The grip adhesive may not have cured properly or enough adhesive was used. Remove the grips, clean both surfaces thoroughly, and reapply adhesive following the product instructions. Ensure adequate curing time before riding.

Difficulty sliding grips onto the handlebars.

Ensure the handlebar and throttle tube are clean and free of debris. A small amount of rubbing alcohol or grip lubricant (designed for installation, not for riding) can help temporarily ease installation. Do not force the grips.

Reduced grip effectiveness after prolonged use.

Clean the grips with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt and oils that may have accumulated on the textured surface. Avoid using petroleum-based products.

Vibration reduction is not as expected.

Ensure the grips are fully seated and properly adhered. Minor imperfections in handlebar straightness or throttle tube smoothness can impact vibration damping. Check that no external accessories are bridging the handlebar and frame, bypassing the grips' damping effect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These grips are specifically designed for motorcycles with 1" handlebars. Ensure your motorcycle's throttle tube and clutch perch are compatible with standard grip installation.

Installation:

  1. Remove existing grips.
  2. Clean the handlebar surface and throttle tube.
  3. Apply a suitable grip adhesive (not included) to the handlebar and throttle tube.
  4. Slide the new Thrashin Supply Co. grips onto the handlebars, ensuring they are fully seated.
  5. Align the grips correctly for optimal comfort and control.
  6. Allow adhesive to cure according to its manufacturer's instructions before riding.

Care: To maintain the grip's texture and durability, clean periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the proprietary compound. Store the motorcycle in a shaded area when possible to prevent excessive UV exposure, which can impact rubber compounds over time.
