FAQs
What is the main benefit of the dual-compound rubber?
The dual-compound rubber offers a blend of softness for enhanced comfort and vibration absorption, with a firmer outer layer for durability and a secure grip on controls.
Are these grips suitable for all types of motorcycles?
These grips are designed for on-road motorcycles and scooters with standard 7/8" (22mm) left handlebars and 26mm throttle-side setups. Compatibility with specific throttle tubes should be verified.
Can I install these grips myself?
Yes, with basic tools and care, these grips can be installed by most riders. Using dedicated motorcycle grip adhesive is crucial for a secure and long-lasting fit.
How do I clean the Domino A250 grips?
Clean the grips with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the rubber compound.
What does 'open end' mean for these grips?
An 'open end' means the grip does not have a closed end on the outer side. This design allows for the installation of bar-end weights or other accessories that mount through the end of the handlebar.
Will these grips fit heated handlebars?
These grips are not specifically designed for heated handlebars and may not allow for efficient heat transfer. If you have heated handlebars, consider grips designed with heat-conductive properties.
What is the length of these grips?
The grips are designed with different lengths for each side: 120mm for the left (clutch) side and 125mm for the right (throttle) side.
Troubleshooting
Grips are difficult to slide on
Ensure the handlebar and throttle tube are clean. Use a small amount of isopropyl alcohol or specialized grip lubricant for easier installation, but ensure it dries completely before applying adhesive. Check for any obstructions or burrs on the handlebar.
Grips spin on the handlebar
This usually indicates insufficient or improperly cured adhesive. Remove the grips, clean both surfaces thoroughly, and reapply a high-quality motorcycle grip adhesive, ensuring full coverage and proper curing time as per the adhesive's instructions.
Throttle tube sticks or does not return smoothly
The right grip may be installed too far onto the throttle tube, or excess adhesive may have seeped into the throttle mechanism. Carefully trim the end of the grip slightly, or ensure the throttle tube has a small gap at the end of the grip and operates freely before adhesive fully sets.
Grips feel too short or too long
These grips are designed for specific lengths (120mm/125mm). Ensure your handlebar setup matches these dimensions. If slightly too long, the open end can be carefully trimmed. If too short, a different grip model may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Measure: Confirm your handlebar diameter (22mm for left, 26mm for right/throttle side) and existing grip length. The Domino A250 grips are 120mm on the clutch side and 125mm on the throttle side.
- Clean: Ensure handlebars are clean and free of grease or old adhesive.
- Lubricate (Optional): Lightly lubricate the inside of the grip or the handlebar for easier sliding, but ensure it's compatible with your chosen adhesive. For a secure fit, avoid lubricants that prevent adhesive bonding.
- Install: Slide the left grip onto the handlebar until it sits flush. Slide the right grip onto the throttle tube. Ensure the throttle tube can still rotate freely.
- Secure: Apply a specialized motorcycle grip adhesive to the handlebar and throttle tube before sliding the grips on. Allow the adhesive to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 24 hours).
- Trim (If necessary): If the grips extend beyond the handlebar ends or interfere with controls, carefully trim the open end with a sharp utility knife.
Compatibility:
- Handlebar Diameter: Designed for standard 7/8" (22mm) handlebars on the left and throttle-side (26mm) on the right.
- Usage: Suitable for on-road motorcycles and scooters.
- Throttle Tube: Ensure the throttle tube is compatible with the 125mm grip length and has a flange diameter of 43mm.
Care:
- Clean grips regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the rubber compound.
- Inspect grips periodically for signs of wear, especially the contact surfaces. Replace if significant wear compromises grip.
