finally got around to taking a picture of the grips I just took off, see how its worn right through, that is the left grip, and the part thats worn through is facing me right under my pinky finger. I was thinking if I am holding teh grip too tight it would be more worn under my point and middle fingers. I'm thinking that I might be placing weight forward on the grip rubbing the rubber off

how'd I know we'd get shitter pics from Derf...


I've never worn out a set of grips... the DRZ still has the stock ones (though I put the heated wraps on it at about 6000 miles) the RR's were wearing out at about 5k but I sold it prior to needing to.

Sounds like I've been changing handlebars more often than some people change their grips lately

I usually get more than 30K out of a set of soft grips, but I barely hold onto the grips anyway. Easier on arm pump, that way.

*EDIT* that's 30K Canadian, so about 19K after the exchange rate.
