    Just to keep everybody informed, the blk/blk ones will be in tomorrow. I had to split up my order and will only be getting 10 in this time and will get the rest next week. I still have plenty of red, blue, and yellow. Plus a few graphite and titanium.

      On Jim's recommendation, I'll try a pair as well... you have another order.

          Yeah, no pressure there

          I'll be interested to read your review of them. I'm sure you have a broader range of comparison than I do so I'm interested in how they stack up. I think you'll be pleased.

                  My grips made it here and I am very impressed! the wife had them hidden from me and holding them for ransom, and they were well worth the ransom she was holding them for. I had to mow the lawn, take out the trash, clear cut the north 40, milk 400 head of cattle, dig a 18 mile long ditch, swim the Atlantic, run a triathalon, change a dirty diaper, and power washt the deck and the house.

                  If that doesnt tell you that theses are great grips nothing will.

                  LOL

                  Thanks for the great product 2wheeltours!!!!

                    Well, it seems Fedex wants to keep my shipment in B'ham for some reason as they still haven't made it here yet. I hope they'll show up Monday. If not, I'll have to start making a few phone calls.

                    blacksheep, you can pay directly thru our web store. If you don't like paypal, then you can send a check to our PO box. Just PM me if you'd rather do that

                          Grip review follow-up

                          Well I managed to get in some miles on the new grips yesterday and I have to say that I am still very pleased with my purchase

                          We put in a little over 200 miles and my hands did not go numb at all. As predicted, they are not the "greatest thing since sliced bread" but they aren't too awfully far off the mark. There is still plenty of input and "feel" for the road but they are a huge improvement over stock and much better than the last pair of gel grips I tried.

                          My carbs have a tendancy to work themselves out of synch and yesterday they did just that. Half way through the day I started running very rough, the D&D was punishing everyone behind me more than usual because of it and I could feel in the bars that it was trying to punish me too. Still despite a rough running bike and an average speed of 90 most of the way home my hands did not go numb at all. Yes, there was a good deal of vibration that made it through, when my carbs go there is nothing that will stop the vibration. Still, they were able to dampen it enough to keep feeling in my hands and keep me in control without being miserable.

                          Bottom line: These will not take away all of the vibration of a Katana.....nothing will, they're grips not magic. For me though they make a considerable difference in the amount of vibration at the bars and I am extremely pleased. If your looking for a pair of grips to magically eliminate all hand fatigue and vibration these are not it. If your looking for a good pair of comfortable grips to reduce vibrations without going to a no-feel sponge grip, these are just the ticket.

                          Thank you for turning me on to these Mike!

                              Do you know why they do that? You might want to try cleaning off the adjuster screws (brake cleaner or carb cleaner) and then put a little loctite on the adjuster screws (and I do mean just a tiny-little bit).

                              Good Luck on that!
