Default Pro Grip SCS Carbon Grip & Throttle Kit

SPEED CONTROL SISTEM 700 ROAD SCS

I finally installed the Pro Grip SCS Carbon Grip & Throttle Kit on the GT250R and all I have to say is... Wow, these things rock! Absolutely no grip slippage as the tubes are provided with the kit. The left grip is held on by two flush mounted set screws. I had them installed in a matter of minutes. I think I'm going to get these for all my bikes.

do you have to drill into the bars? or is there an existing hole the set screw goes into?

No holes are needed. The throttle side replaces your stock tube and the clutch side slides on pretty snug and then is held in place by to opposing set screens that hold it tight against the bar.

I have a similar style set of grips on my mountain bike. They are on hard plastic tubes that clamp to the bars with some aluminum collars. They do NOT come off, and are super easy to take off/put on whenever the need arises. Grip slippage is a thing of the past. You can even replace the grips and re-use the aluminum collars.

I was curious if the throttle tube was a direct fit on those Progrips.

They have two styles that seem to fit most bikes. The grips are glued onto the tubes, so when they go bad you'll need to replace the again as a unit.

I checked NewEnough for the grips, and they don't carry them. So, I shot them an email and asked if they were going to, because I was going to order some other stuff from them fairly soon.

Here's their response:

Quote:
We actually did stock these, I thought it was an excellent idea but... ProGrip makes 2 fitment match ups for these, one is a Duc/Suz/Yam set and the other is the Apr/Hon/Kaw set. Everyone of these we sold was returned because they did not fit the make of motorcycle they said they would fit.

We researched through our supplier but no one could tell us anything so we returned them and pulled them from the website.

Sorry I couldn't help you with these but I felt that ProGrip should've done a better job with their fitment match up.
