Hey! new to the forum so I apologize if there is already a thread about this. I've been playing with the idea of buying a set of the Battistini round Hole Grips bit I've heard mixed reviews about how comfortable they are. My handlebars are chrome so I won't have the problems with the mis-matched colors but there are times when my wife and I will take the bike out for a weekend trip, usually 3-6 hour rides and I'm a bit concerned that they will not be comfortable even with gloves. Any insights on these?? ;

I don't have the Battistini grips, but I do ride with solid aluminum grips. I occasionally experience light numbness after long periods of riding, but I was experiencing the same thing with the factory grips. I'm sure many here will recommend the ISO type grips, but I find the all aluminum grips plenty comfortable.

I don't know but if you find out let me know. They're hot lookin grips

Yea I know just about 75% of people have the ISO grips. I'm sure they are comfortable but I'm just not a huge fan of how they look, the battistini grips just have that look that I'm looking for, but with the holes in them im worried about the long rides, maybe ill just take the chance with them, we'll see.

I have them on my raven stryker and they look amazing along with the foot pegs to match. Now the comfortable level they are but I wear gloves all the time so they are comfortable but I have also ride with no gloves and it is not that comfortable with no gloves I will post pic for u can see them on the bike..

I always ride with gloves too so I shouldn't have too much of an issue I suppose, also I could get the throttle buddy too if it got to be too uncomfortable.

do you get much vibration in the hands with them? i've seen a similar pair with spikes and was thinking the weights in the spikes might make it smoother

I do not get any vibration or it is too small to notice..

Moto...I've got a set of the black battistini grips on mine and I like them. They are not soft and comfy, but hey I'm not a [email protected]##y lol.

Seriously though, they take a little getting used to but I love the way they look and get lots of compliments on them. I'm going to get some matching pegs soon

 

[motochef]

they definitely have that perfect look that I want for the bike. I think I will have to get a set soon, maybe in a few weeks when i get a couple more paychecks. Ill have to post pics because I should be getting my plastics painted by then too.

Hey Moto... I have the Kuryakan ISO Grips on mine... Put them on two weeks ago. There pretty sweet.

Imortal did you get a metric set, or do the standard HD grips work? The reason I ask is there's a local HD shop that has a big box of the oval hole batt grips, that missed the polishing process. They are only $40 a set, and they have alot! Maybe I'll just take mine off and go match it up?

Man i dont know. Bought on ebay and i think they are yamaha specific. I just ordered some of the matching round hole footpegs. I wanted the oval hole grips but couldnt find any for yamaha

They are out there but under a different name. I think I saw them labeled as the gunner grips.. but I'm not 100%
