Product Information
Full details
The Daytona GRIPPYGRIP GGD-Sakura Grip is designed for motorcycle riders looking to upgrade their handlebar control with a blend of ergonomic comfort and distinct aesthetics. These grips are ideal for commuters and weekend riders alike, offering a reliable, non-slip surface that improves hand fatigue during long rides. However, users should note that they are specifically engineered for standard 22.2mm (7/8 inch) handlebars, so they may not fit custom oversized bars without modification.

FAQs
Are these grips compatible with 1-inch (25.4mm) handlebars?
No, these grips are specifically designed for 22.2mm (7/8 inch) handlebars and will not fit 1-inch bars.
Do these grips come with end caps?
The Daytona GRIPPYGRIP GGD-Sakura series typically features an open-ended design compatible with most standard bar ends or weights.
Can I use these on a motorcycle with heated grips?
These grips are not designed for internal heating elements and may not effectively conduct heat; they are intended for standard handlebar setups.
What is the best way to remove old grips?
If they are glued on, use a thin flat-head screwdriver to gently lift the edge and spray a bit of contact cleaner or soapy water inside, then twist to break the adhesive bond.
Are these suitable for off-road use?
Yes, the textured Sakura design provides excellent traction for off-road riding, though ensure they are securely glued to handle aggressive movements.
Troubleshooting
Grip sliding or rotating on the bar
The grip was likely installed without sufficient adhesive; remove the grip, clean the bar surface thoroughly, and re-apply a high-quality grip adhesive.
Difficulty sliding the grip onto the handlebar
Ensure the bar end is free of burrs and use compressed air or a light application of grip glue to act as a lubricant while sliding the grip into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Daytona GRIPPYGRIP, first remove your existing grips and thoroughly clean the handlebar surface of all old adhesive residue using isopropyl alcohol. Apply a thin layer of grip-specific adhesive to the bar, then slide the new Daytona grips into position. Ensure the design pattern is oriented correctly before the adhesive sets. Allow at least 12-24 hours for the glue to cure before riding. For care, simply clean the grips with mild soap and water periodically to remove road grime and oils; avoid harsh chemical solvents that might degrade the rubber over time.
