FAQs
Will these fit my bike?
These grips are designed for standard 22mm (7/8 inch) handlebars, which covers the vast majority of motorcycles.
Do these grips come with glue?
No, grip adhesive is typically sold separately. It is recommended to purchase a dedicated motorcycle grip glue.
Can I use these with heated grips?
The effectiveness of heated grips may be slightly reduced by the thickness of the rubber, though they are generally compatible.
How do I remove my old grips without cutting them?
You can insert a thin screwdriver between the grip and bar and spray a little compressed air to break the vacuum seal.
Are these sold as a set?
Yes, they are sold as a pair (one for the throttle side and one for the clutch side).
Troubleshooting
Grip rotates or slips during use
Apply a small amount of grip-specific adhesive to the handlebar or throttle tube before installation and let it cure fully.
Difficulty sliding grips onto the bars
Use a small amount of rubbing alcohol or non-residue grip solvent to lubricate the inside; it will evaporate quickly once positioned.
Grips feel tacky or sticky after cleaning
Ensure all soap residue is rinsed away and buff the surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove existing grips using compressed air or a thin blade to avoid damaging the throttle tube. Clean the handlebar surface of all old adhesive residue before sliding the new grips on. Use a high-quality grip adhesive if the fit is loose on the throttle side. To care for your grips, clean them periodically with a mild soap solution and water to remove road grime and oil. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these can degrade the soft outer rubber layer over time.
