At the Guzzi breakfast I noticed a fellow had on foam sleeves over his grips. They did not feel too big; I may have to give them a whirl.

Where did you find them? I can only find them on a UK site and don't want to pay the shipping.

Installed Oury Road Grips in black. Used Oury grips on all previous bikes I owned including MX bikes. They have served me well. Thanks rdtshaw for your excellent post. Motivated me to go ahead and make the change.

I have never replaced the grips on a motorcycle and don't know if there are specific ones I need for the CB1100 besides the 7/8" bar diameter spec? What are you guys rocking there? The stockers stop being comfortable after about 45mins. Smile Thanks for any insight or direction to some threads I missed.

This is the first time that I've actually left the stock grips on a street bike.The entire CB-11 seems as comfy as I need it to be and I won't change anything unless it really needs it.I really need to ride out to RR 337 in Medina,TX and see if I'm still comfy.

Are the bar ends supposed to be able to turn even after tightening? I didn't check before removing them and now that I have new grips installed I'm noticing for the first time that the ends continue to spin.

I have Vibranator bar ends on my VFR which don't spin at all. I can't remember if the stock set up did. Thanks!

Thank you! So, I can stop turning the screw driver now? My forearm is getting tired.

By the way, i went with the Pro Grip 699 open end grips. They seem to go well with the bike and surely will be an improvement over stock.

In fact, I think you want to back off the screw slightly, such that the end of the weights are loose, and can move a bit.

Thanks DG. My bar ends do move slightly with a firm pull, which concerned me but I'm glad to read that it's expected.
