    Put heated grips on the Ducati (could have done with them this morning). The most difficult thing was getting the old ones off. I started off trying to be all neat and tidy and tease them off but it soon descended into swearing and a scalpel. If the throttle side has to be glued trust me, make sure it's well and truly stuck before you use it in anger. I glued both sides in the end, but they were Oxford ones, not Rizoma. They may be a tighter fit.

    I have Renthal grips, I rolled the old ones off and fitted a Q/A throttle at the same time. The grips are different sizes, use renthal grip adhesive when re-fitting, helps to slide on and holds in place. Renthal do different compounds and thickness.

    I know the Renthal ones are good but I always think they look like a marital aid...

    Pro grips mate, best I've used so far and they do take some buzz out the handle bars on longer journeys (tricks picked up from having twins for years)

    I'm actually after some for my blade so can keep you posted if you like? Had been Getting them from M&P but I'll wait til the bike show as you normally get a £5 voucher off they're stand to use online

    Got them on my GSXR never had a problem
    With them really comfy no vibration and do look very sexy especially if you have nice levers, but if you buy them you will have to buy the reservoir to, I'll drop you some pics on later if I get chance!
