Would you buy one again

Similar here, no track available, but on a real twisty road comfort issues disappear. Getting to the good riding is where the discomfort can occur.

I haven't noticed that before. I will pay closer attention once I'm on the Thruxton sometime in May when the snow and mud are gone.

I'm thinking one of the reasons I miss my '03 Daytona so much is the clip-ons. Being closer to the road somehow inspires confidence. I'm sure I suffered pins-and-needles with that bike, but maybe I didn't care? :cool:

Exactly my issue.
Contours, grip choice is important if you suffer this.

Pro Grip gel grips are good, but they’re thin, so have limited cushioning.

What I’ve found helps a LOT is soft spongy Beston type grips.

But, ironically, most Beston style grips, especially the ‘quality Japanese made’ ones are actually not good because they’re solid, hard, rubber and offer no cushioning.

The best ones I’ve found are cheap Emgo ones. They’re a softer rubber and a hollow construction and offer a lot of cushioning to the palm when using clip ons / low bars. The down side is the soft rubber means they don’t last as long as some.

But I’ve also found that you need to specify that you‘re buying Emgo ones otherwise you get whatever they’ve got on the shelf.

I have Biltwell Recoil grips on most of my bikes , great quality and soak up some vibes.
 
Good information. Thanks guys! Looking forward to trying something less drastic than the carpal tunnel surgery my doctor is suggesting. :eek:

Perfect for the D. I'd never put that on the 961.
 
I wouldn’t buy again after the email many of us received today.
Do you need the stress of another new Norton. After owning a F1 Sport for thirty years and now a 961 all very enjoyable times.
Could have bought a new Atlas as my age increase but not now.
I wish them a good future.
 
Catch me up. What did it say?
