Get the gangsta versions (the ones with spiked tips so you can impale yourself if you go down)

Someone brought up the cold weather, but wouldn't they be scorching hot in the Florida summer??

On a hot NC summer day it will take a few seconds for the "holy shit, that's hot!" moment to pass when I grab the stock grips. It seems solid metal would prolong that moment quite a bit.

Aluminum grips make about as much sense as Titanium socks.

If I'm not mistaken, the whole idea behind grips, is to provide grip.

Rubber? Ok. Leather? Maybe. Aluminum? Not so much.

Could be a lot worse. At least those have some rubber on them. I have seen some custom chopper guys with no rubber at all.

Agreed.

That's what I was thinking of, (didn't click the link).

But...What do you do when the rubber bits wear off? How thick is the rubber? Why do they look like ass?

That's the problem with a lot of Chinese CNC stuff. The "looks like ass factor".

I used to sell these at my shop. Spendy? Oh hell yes. Perfect? Yep.

I have the Driven grips and they work very well for me. They are not all aluminum but have aluminum inserts. I like them. I have also owned the MoMo carbon fiber grips (actually, I still have them) which have leather inserts, also nice grips. Solid aluminum grips are textured to provide grip, btw... I would think that vibration would be a problem.:idk: Oh and my GF ordered cheap grips from China...yea not good...

I'd recommend them to have some rubber. Sure would suck to slip off the handle.
