RE: Trip Machine red leather grip wraps - peterbaron - 02-05-2021
During rainy day, I only rode a few times, sunny/hot days = no issue so far.
I replace'em every 3-4 seasons.
Easy installation, slip on, no cutting required for the CB1100, it takes me 1 min for both sides.

Yes, I have had grip puppies and grip buddies. I'd like to know about using a grip wrap like in the OP and how that stands up to wet weather.

... as well as hand sweat, pleez.

Stands up on sweaty tennis rackets doesn't it? or is this different stuff?
RE: Trip Machine red leather grip wraps - emptysea - 02-05-2021
I wear gloves so sweaty palms aren’t an issue.

My summer salty hands destroy leather gloves.

Back from a few hundred kms, would I recommend them?
Short answer, no.
They are a good diameter for me, but they are quite slick, meaning I had to grip harder with my hands (particularly throttle hand).
I have had some issues with my right hand over the years, and by the end of the ride I had more pain/fatigue in my hand than normal.
Certainly not as comfortable as grip puppies, or even the oxford grips on my bike.
I imagine they would be very slick in the wet.
Im going to try some grip spray on my gloves and/or the grips and see how that goes.
I cant say they decreased any vibes.
They look good though!

My summer gloves are some kind of synthetic mesh with added material over the knuckles and some kind of syn material padding on the palms. They're actually work gloves and not real expensive.
