Great bars and exhaust.  Take some video!

Thanks. The slip-on and clamps are stainless so starting to turn gold now with the heat. I like the colour they are turning.

This was before I vac synced and adjusted the cam chain.

The engine now has ZERO rattle at idle when on the centre stand, but the gears rattle a little bit on the side stand.

I ordered the pro grips and used them on my 750. I have about 500 miles with them. I like them but I would say I still like the ourys better.

I put the Ourys on the other day and last night was my first ride with them. They are AWESOME. Highly recommended. I just feel like I have more control with the smaller, softer grips.

Randakk's grips are the VERY BEST available.

Too bad he does not have 1 inch .

Nice and soft.




Hey Lucky, those are Pro Grips, he just doubles the price.

I originally ordered the Ourys in blue... but they were going to take too long, so I ordered black instead.

+1 for OURY grips. Just got my new grips in the mail today and they are oh so comfortable. And for a great price too.

I love Pro Grips, made in Italy and sold on Amazon or at Cycle Gear.  $11

+1...Pro Grips are what I usually get...on these bikes, make sure you get the ones that have the smaller "flanges" at the ends (the "inner" end of the grip, that is wedged between the grip and master cylinder)...you'll know what I mean when you see the smaller ones and the bigger ones side by side...
