hi everyone like to get your opinion on some good grips. ive been looking but not sure what to get ?i would like somthing to asorb vibrations and look good. im open to any,so let ne know what you think.thanks
Gel grips are what you want. I bought a pair from eBay and they fell apart.
So my opinion is buy them local, then you have a face to deal with if they stink..
as far as good ones i dont have a clew. but the harris gripps are hard as can be. they look good. but they are verry hard. so you better have good gloves if you go with them.

I've got a set of Progrip 725's on my Kat and I love them.
But md86 is correct in that the right gloves will make the ride even better. Personally, I like Olympia gel gloves; not too expensive and in concert with the gel grips make for a nice, comfortable ride.
I run them on everything
from dirt, sport and my cruiser
my VT600 is a single crank pin Vtwin (like a harley) solid mounted engine and vibrates like crazy and the gel grips work awesome.
I run 862 on the VT600
719 on the kat
793 on the off road bikes
I actually did NOT like the Progrips . The extra diameter made my hands cramp , and I never grew accustomed to it , so I swapped 'em back out for stock .
