  • Suggest new grips for my 500 miles ride???

    I am looking for some new grips that will reduce the vibrations on my '06 Katana. I have about a 500 mile ride ahead of me, and would like to stop as least as possible, so would prefer better grips as I know this will be a factor if hands feel numb.

    Please give me some insight and/or web links

      Also a throttle rocker is great for the long hauls

          It dampens the vibration in the bar before it reaches your hands.

              Gel cycling gloves, foam grips... both of those items are lighter weight than leadshots.
