    Grips?

    What works good? What is comfortable and long wearing?

    I have some cheap ass foam ones on now.

      Factory stock ones on my XJ are pretty good; might give those a try. I ride wearing gloves, summer weight ones let air through and give ventilation between fingers and grip, adds extra comfort.

        I'm happy with my Oury road bike grips. Comfortable and still like new after 2 years.

          I too like my "cheap ass foam ones". Been on for almost a year now and no sign of wear at this point. They DO get a bit soggy when it rains tho....

            I got the fat rubber chrome end ones... bout 10$ at www.louis.de
            Short finger riders need not apply. No verdict yet. It's a nice grip, kills some vibes since they're quite heavy.

              Bad-ass lookin' grips

              I got some some that are sorta hard to describe. They are like cogged. Chrome and black. They look real tuff. Felt a little different at first and when I got used to them they felt great! I think they were called Emglo or something like that. I would buy them again for sure!
