Recommendations for AM soft rubber grips
I would like to change to softer items, the originality does not matter to me as long as they will fit.
I have seen these:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000203 ... 1825%22%7D
and the feedbacks do indicate their softness. I would love to hear your opinion and recommendations for these or any other solution.
Pls ignore the color, I'm sure that black ones are also available.

Re: Recommendations for AM soft rubber grips
Kurt, the bigger grip would go on the throttle tube and the smaller one on the clutch side handlebar.schrader7032 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 17, 2022 9:35 amThey're cheap enough to just give it a shot!! It says for 7/8" and 22mm. I'm pretty sure the bars are 22mm, but 7/8" is bigger than 22mm. Not sure if it's going to work. In situations like that, typically one would wrap the handlebars with some tape just to take up the gap.
All grip pairs come with different sized inner diameters. Handlebar/throttle tube.

Re: Recommendations for AM soft rubber grips
which leads me to believe they're just saying they can be used for either/or. I don't think you get on 22mm and the other 7/8".Hand Grips Rubber Handle Bar 7/8" 22mm

Re: Recommendations for AM soft rubber grips
The original grips are so hard that I do not want to start peeling them, otherwise I will not be able to put them back again. Does anyone in any case have dimensions of the 2 sides?
In my humble opinion, this is more than 22 mm.
22 mm may be the size of the handlebars themselves, but the grips should sit on the throttle and clutch assembly.

Re: Recommendations for AM soft rubber grips
Bought these over at aliexpress, should get them very soon: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001 ... 1802SMly3V
I currently do not have access to air pressure: What would be the best way to peel the old grips without damaging them?
I do not know if the new ones are suitable or not, until the moment of assembly.
Also what is the best way to put on the new ones, again - without air pressure?

Re: Recommendations for AM soft rubber grips
For the new grip, I coat the inside of the grip and the bar with hair spray. It's a good lubricant when wet and you can work the grip to where you want it. Then it dries into a very light glue, I've never had a problem removing a grip seated this way.
