    I am a fan of renthals so added the medium to mine right away and prefer them. As the cost is low do it.

    I've never looked back

    Will pick some up from the NEC show tomorrow then... had them for years on the R1. The standard grips just feel chunky :)

    I've put Renthal mediums on every bike I've ever owned. Great grips. Shame they don't last long. But at that price I can't complain much.

    It aint Green anymore matey, that's for sure!

    The grand unveiling will have to wait till next year as the fairings are sitting at a mates Garage in Cheadle waiting for me to decide what colour Carbon Wrap I'm going for!

    Leaning towards a Dark Grey colour at the mo!

    Going for a cheap to replicate scheme this time rather than blow a K on fairings and paint like last time! :rolleyes:

    I don't mind sharing ;-)
    I hate heated grips as they are always fat so I used a set of Symtec heated grips which I had bought for my ktm 690 but never got round to fitting them before I sold it. So had them fitted on the blade....work perfectly :)

    I've used the renthal duel compounds for years. Got them on both the blade and the R6.

    Ye, it goes well in the wet lol.

    They're hard centre and medium outers (I think) hence Black inside and grey outer.

    Anyone know off the top of their head what size Renthals I need for my blade? I've got my finger hovering over the Buy It Now button on FleaBay for a pair.
    As I'm too lazy to go out to the garage and measure them right now, I thought I would ask you guys.

    Renthal for me too.
    If it helps, the RR6 standard bars are 22mm on the clutch side and 25mm on the throttle.
