    Renthals are pretty popular

    Do you reckon the original honda ones would be regarded as, firm or medium ?

    If you use your bike on long or cold runs, don't even think about it 'Heated' all the way. I have been on the point of collapse with cold and exhaustion, going to give up. Switch the heated grips on get another hour!

    I could not find any black Renthal ones when I searched about a month ago. My OCD would not allow grey on my black bike either.

    Used the Honda ones before when I replaced them but this time I am going for Driven but have to wait for them from the States. I was very tempted with heated though as I ride all year and Sunday I had to call it a day after an hour because the pain in my hands was just too much.

    The firm are the only ones they do in black ! We were talking about the duos dude...

    Heated is tempting as I've been in the same miserable condition myself lots of times and dreamt of them, but i am trying to make her racier, and that kinda goes against the grain a bit... Still haven't ruled them out tho ;)

    Grips are for 8 year old girls, i use no grips so that my hands almost slip off every time, it adds to the fear;)

    Cheers guys..

    Ive gone with all black Progrips, in soft compound, (probably intended for 5yr old girls), but I've got a bit of carpel tunnel and it may help a little..
