FAQs

Are these grips suitable for all types of motorcycles?

These grips are specifically designed for road racing and performance riding. While they fit 22mm handlebars, their dual-compound construction is optimized for feedback and control, which might feel firmer than desired for casual touring or cruiser motorcycles.

Can I install bar ends with these grips?

Yes, the grips are open-ended and designed to accommodate standard bar ends without requiring any cutting or modification.

What is the main benefit of the dual-compound construction?

The dual-compound design combines a firm inner grip to prevent twisting with a soft outer compound that absorbs vibration and provides superior grip and comfort.

How long are these grips?

The Domino Road Racing Grips have a standard length of 126mm.

What color options are available?

While the specific model listed is Black/Orange, Domino typically offers their grips in a range of colors to personalize your motorcycle.

Do I need special tools to install these grips?

Basic tools such as a grip removal tool (or compressed air) and a grip adhesive are recommended for proper installation. Ensure you have the necessary tools before starting.

Will these grips fit 1-inch handlebars?

No, these grips are specifically designed for 22mm (7/8 inch) handlebars. They will not fit 1-inch handlebars.

Troubleshooting

Grips feel too stiff

Ensure the outer soft compound is the primary contact point. If the stiffness is due to the inner core, it is a characteristic of the performance design for preventing twisting. Riding will typically break them in slightly.

Grips twist on the handlebar

Verify that you used a high-quality grip adhesive and allowed it to cure completely. Ensure the inner firm compound is fully seated on the handlebar.

Throttle is sticky or not returning smoothly

The throttle grip may not be seated correctly or there may be excess adhesive interfering with the throttle tube. Remove the grip, clean the throttle tube and inside of the grip, and reinstall with minimal, properly applied adhesive.

Bar ends do not fit

While designed for open-ended use, some oversized bar ends may require minor modification or a different mounting system. Ensure your bar ends are compatible with a 126mm grip length and 22mm handlebar diameter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers superior grip and control for aggressive riding.
  • Significantly reduces handlebar vibration for improved comfort.
  • Dual-compound design provides both structural integrity and cushioning.
  • Open-ended for easy accessory integration (bar ends).
  • Designed for specific competition performance.

Cons

  • May be too firm for riders prioritizing plush comfort over performance.
  • Specialized design is optimized for road racing, not necessarily touring.
  • Limited to 22mm handlebars; not universal for all motorcycle types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These grips are designed for motorcycles with standard 22mm (7/8 inch) handlebars. Ensure your handlebars are this diameter before purchase. The open-ended design accommodates most bar ends.

Setup:

  1. Clean your existing handlebars thoroughly.
  2. Apply a grip adhesive (sold separately) to the inside of the Domino grips or to the handlebar.
  3. Carefully slide the grips onto the handlebars, ensuring they are fully seated.
  4. For the throttle grip, ensure smooth operation of the throttle tube within the grip.
  5. Allow the adhesive to cure fully according to the product instructions before riding.

Care: Clean the grips periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the rubber compounds. Inspect grips regularly for signs of wear or damage.
