Progrip 717BlackGreen 717 Superbike Grips,Black/Green

My hands used to get fatigued on the 45-minute ride to/from work downtown, particularly my right, because I was constantly having to grip the throttle tightly to keep it from slipping and rotating back. Made it hard to maintain speed. Now, I can just lay my hands on both grips and they just STAY, and I can hold the throttle where I want with almost zero effort.They went on pretty easy. Just poured a lil' bit of rubbing alcohol down them before slipping them on, getting them lined up where I wanted, and VOILA! Done. (Of course, taking off the bar ends first was a thing of its own, as was removing the adhesive from the previous grips.)Only downside to these is that they do seem to transmit a bit more vibration than the previous grips somehow. Might be because the previous grips were so slippery that it allowed the grip to slide ever so slightly within my grasp and not transfer that vibration motion into my hands; these are so grippy, there is ZERO give, so whatever you feel in the bars you'll feel in your hands, too (for better or worse).

ProGrip 717, Red/BlackI purchased these because they resembled the grips that Casey Stoner used on his Ducati Desmosedici GP9-GP10 in MotoGP, except those have the "X" pattern underneath as well. Well, it turns out the ProGrip 717 is a CLOSE ended grip! My Ducati 696 uses open ended grips, so I had to figure out what to do with the 717s. Some suggested getting the Motion Pro grip cutting tool, but I chose to go with an Exacto knife modification. I carefully sliced open the ends.The 717s are a dual-compound, and the outer compound is VERY soft with a grippy texture. It is like gripping a marshmallow that sticks to your hand! Unfortunately, it also made it hard to install even using extra hold hair spray. It tended to squirm in my hands as I tried to twist it into place. Luckily once it sets, it is good to go. These even have grooves on the ends for safety wire.I did some research and ordered the Pro Grip 780's as backups in case I couldn't use the 717s. The 780s have the same texture and compound as the 717s except it doesn't have a hard inner core. You see, the colored part of the 717 is the harder internal core compound while the black is the soft squirmy material. The 780 does not have that inner core or the safety wire grooves, but is slightly longer for that perfect OEM size. The Ducati grips were ultra hard and slippery, but slightly longer than the Pro Grip 717 and 719.The 717s look very sharp when installed, and I highly recommend you try hair spray since it seems to hold on very tightly. I didn't believe people at first until I tried it on my Glock's Hogue grip and the 719s - they just stuck on tight and didn't rotate even during heavy use.If you choose to buy 717s, make sure that you can use close ended grips or be prepared to cut open the ends. These are very soft, and they don't like being cut. However, they are inexpensive enough to swap periodically in case they wear out. They remain very soft even in cold weather (below 20F).Overall: 4/5 stars, had to cut open the ends, ProGrip ought to make an open ended 717 with the "X" pattern underneath as well to replicate the MotoGP grips, very squirmy during installation, and you may want to check out the 780 if you like the texture and outer compound as it is an exact match but slightly longer.

I’m on the fence with these grips. The comfort is great. The styling is nice and clean. However, they don’t hold up to daily use. I had them on my Ninja 1000 for about a year and had to replace them due to deterioration.If they were just a bit more durable, it’d be an easy 5 stars. At least they are inexpensive.

Bought these for my 1299 Panigale S. They are what come standard on the Superleggera I believe. Great grips, 1000X better comfort than the OEM ducati grips. Only downside is that they wear out quickly. I’ve put about 7,000 miles on and they’re about due to be replaced. For the low cost however it’s totally worth it.

Ends of grips are not open ended, I've ordered 2 sets of these for 2 different bikes and I have had to trim the end to allow the bar end to mount back on the handlebars. Not hard whatsoever, easiest when grip is put on so you know what exactly you need to trim for best look.

I love these grips. Other people mention using hairspray as a lubricant; I can't imagine doing that to my bike. Use highly concentrated rubbing alcohol as the lubricant. Friction is all that's needed to hold these snug, and they'll be perfect once the alcohol evaporates away. There's no need to use an adhesive in my experience. I've ridden a dozen times since putting these on and they never slip.

is a kind of comfortable rubber, has nothing bad to say about em and they have the look and stick hard enough on the handlebars, only i issue i see is that the rubber might get all worn out on a extended period of time or use, like im not seeing it holding as new for a long term, but only time will tell X)

Bought for Ducati scrambler with full throttle bars. Note that they work fine for models without the heated grips. You can still use these with the heated grips but you will need two sets as you can only fit one of the grips over the throttle tube which is the same width on the clutch side when you have the heated grips.

Great product.

These are good. they offer good grip but tend to wear a bit. but harder wearing grips less grip. would recommend these. plus they look good.

Son pleased with purchase, fits well on his motorbike

Really grippy and fits a sv650 perfectly

The best around .
