The Pro Taper MX Pillow Top Grips are first class workmanship, reasonable price, available in 6 color combinations.
Installation
I recently installed a pair of ProTaper MX Pillow Grips
on my KLR650. While these grips are typically used on MX and off-road bikes, the combination of the tacky surface and the pillow top should work equally well for on and of road riding. Installation was straightforward without any issues. Having hand guards, I needed to trim the end of the grips prior to sliding them on. The Pillow Top Grips have notches on the ends to aid in the trimming.
Out on the ride
The grips installed, I took a ride the next morning to try them out. Immediately I noticed the reduction in vibration. Long rides at highway speed normally transfer a considerable amount of “buzz” on my KLR, but these grips made the ride much more enjoyable. The tacky surface provides of plenty of grip under wet or dry conditions.
Conclusion
The ProTaper MX Pillow Grips
perform well, providing a secure and comfortable grip under a variety of riding conditions, without breaking the bank. Highly recommended.
