I've used lots of different ones, but just curious what the consensus? is these days. Hah.....
 
I use soft grip grips, they are like foam but are hard wearing, they are good to grip and very comfortable all round whether short rides or traveling long distants, but I also like the thin rubber grips that look like motorcross grips I am using them at the moment and find them very comfortable on the hands as well.

I had some Oury grips on my old Mk3 I quite liked - http://www.ourygrips.com/road-street-grips/

This time I about to try some Progrip 842, but I dont quite like how thick they are.

Likewise. I have larger hands, but always ride with gloves. The stock grips + glove palm material tend to open the grip farther than what is comfortable for longer rides, plus their ancient "rubber" compound has lost all forms of friction, forcing a constant vice-like grip just to keep the throttle from creeping closed. The goomy-grips make it much easier to get a grip without massive forearm pump. I kept my stock grips for as long as I could tolerate them, only because they were stock/original. No more!

I'm a big fan of the original Gran Turismo grips and have them on all three of my bikes...the repro versions vary in quality and my best set came from Andover Norton

I like these too. Only the rubber version is much nicer than these plastic ones.
 
GT rubber ones for me as well on the road bike, flat moto x style ones wired on for the race bike

I find the original fat barrel things feel quite cumbersome. They're fine when fitted to high bars and used for cruising. But with clip ons the fat grip puts the hands in a posture that's not conducive to a nice light control IMHO. I fitted some to an Egli once (cos the riding position was not exactly comfy) but they really affected my perception of the handling.

I like soft gel Pro Grips, they do a lot of different styles, I think I use the 699 type.

Looks wise, I really like the trad Doherty grips, but they offer zero comfort!

Hello, good evening and welcome, I am searching (on and off) for the rubber ones. I would like to make a single purchase without having to buy multiple offerings to see which one is most like the original rubber items. I have the originals and like them. I need a set for another motorbike.
I do not want the plastic ones. If you have seen them open both ends that would be ok too.
The Gran Tourismo in rubber for 7/8" & 1".
Could one of you fine fellows mention a US source and part number that you have actually bought and compared with success?
All the best.
 
I use the Oury motocross grips. Always liked them, good friction, small diameter for me.

I use er, I think they are Verlicchi, off the original Ducati 900 SS and 750 Sport. Nice and soft and with a rib to aid in twisting and holding in a fixed position.
 
I use the Gran Turismo type but lately I have been using the Jackhammer grips.
These are slightly longer.
Cheers,
Thomas
 
Yup , GT rubber version from Andover on the Euro. spec bars for me ..... just the ticket !
