Better grips for SV
 

Are there any gel type grips on the market for the SV?

Looking for something a bit wider than the sv stock one plus a bit softer so not to trasfer vibration to hands.

If vibes are a problem, you're either holding on too tight or there's something wrong with the bike.

I am getting the carbs done on the weekend.

Not all that bad, not compared to the SLR650 that i rode on my retest.

I was looking something like the Gel ones listed on the following, got a similar pair on my Mountain Bike They wear a bit quicker but comfy all the same,

look for these Motorcycle Handlebar Progrip Bio-Component Grips

I was having a problem with vibes but the way I got round it was to wear a pair of fingerless mountain biking gloves underneath my motorcycling gloves. They have gel in the palm and stop me getting numb fingers. It is a bit tight getting all of them on but once out on the road there is very little difference in feel.

Hope this helps

Good Idea with the gloves Glynmitch, for a comfy ride I use cycling shorts with gel inserts , lot cheaper than a Gel set

I know this has been asked before but couldnt find the thread , for when you get excessive vibrations through the feet, I find Gel shoe inserts do the trick,

Didnt realise how vibey V Twins could be, but learning to cope with it

Have a look at http://www.progrip.com grips. I have some 725 Evo grips and they're really good looking and comfortable.

www.mandp.com sell them.

Cheers
