Full details
This guide is for motorcycle racers seeking enhanced control and comfort on the track. The Domino Road Racing Grip offers a dual-compound construction for superior vibration absorption and firm control, a key benefit for competitive riding. A potential caveat is their specialized design, making them best suited for track use rather than daily commuting. These open-ended grips feature a unique 2-color, dual-compound design with a firm inner core to prevent twisting and a soft outer layer for vibration dampening and maximum grip. Available in multiple colors, they allow for personalization and fit standard 22mm handlebars.

FAQs
Are these grips suitable for street riding?
While they offer excellent comfort and grip, their design is optimized for road racing. For purely street use, other grip models might offer different advantages, but these can still be used if vibration reduction and firm control are priorities.
What is the length of these grips?
The grips have a standard length of 126mm.
Can I use these with heated handlebars?
These grips are not designed to be heated. Installing them over heated handlebars may interfere with heat transfer and is not recommended.
Do I need special tools to install them?
Basic tools like a screwdriver or pick for removing old grips, and possibly a rubber mallet or air compressor for installation, are helpful. Grip adhesive is highly recommended.
How do I clean the dual compound grips?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild soap solution. Wipe them clean and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Will these grips fit my motorcycle if it doesn't have 22mm handlebars?
No, these grips are specifically designed for 22mm handlebars. Using them on different sized handlebars will result in an improper fit and potential safety issues.
What is the main advantage of the dual compound design?
The dual compound offers a unique balance: the firm inner layer prevents twisting and ensures a solid connection to the handlebar, while the soft outer layer absorbs road vibrations and provides a comfortable, high-grip surface.
Troubleshooting
Grips feel loose or twist on the handlebar.
Ensure a proper grip adhesive was used and allowed to cure fully. Re-apply adhesive if necessary, ensuring the handlebar is clean.
Throttle or clutch doesn't operate smoothly.
Check that the grips are not binding against any controls or fairings. Ensure the throttle tube is rotating freely and the grip is not obstructing the lever.
Uneven wear on the grip surface.
Inspect for any sharp edges on controls or handlebar ends that may be causing premature wear. Ensure consistent riding technique.
Vibration dampening seems ineffective.
Verify that the soft outer compound is intact and not damaged. Ensure the inner firm compound is securely bonded to prevent direct vibration transfer.

- Excellent vibration reduction for improved comfort and reduced fatigue.
- Superior grip and control due to the soft outer compound.

Cons
- Primarily designed for racing; may not be ideal for casual or touring use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These grips are designed for 22mm diameter handlebars, which is a standard size on most sport and racing motorcycles. Ensure your handlebars measure 22mm at the grip mounting area. The grips are open-ended, accommodating standard bar end weights or aftermarket bar end sliders.
Setup:
- Clean the handlebars thoroughly to remove any grease or debris.
- Apply a grip adhesive (recommended for racing applications) to the inside of the grips or the handlebar surface.
- Carefully slide the grips onto the handlebars, ensuring the firm inner compound is on the throttle side and the soft outer compound is on the clutch side for optimal function. For the throttle tube, ensure it can rotate freely. A dab of adhesive can secure the grip once positioned correctly.
- Allow the adhesive to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before riding.
Care:
Clean the grips regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the rubber compounds and affect grip. Periodically check for any signs of wear or detachment, especially on the outer compound.
