Time to renew the FL800s yoke grips.The old ones Ak put on are now too mushy and sticky...No one likes sticky rubber right? :shock: Was just going to replace with similar parallel MX type grips but at my local pushbike type shop I came across these ergo type with the palm bulge...every man likes a bulge right?
Only $15 so suck and see.
I have angled the bulge side outwards to hopefully allow a better angle for the wrist hand etc
I've just soliconed it on for now for testing.
Tomorrow I'll see how they dry and feel etc

Those look to be more comfy than the other ones.

Apparently you appear to be the kind of guy that needs a handful to be satisfied.

Great idea.

Sunday morning now here and just removed the cable ties and all ok.I stuffed up the cut on the lhs grip due to mangos! :shock: On my way home yesterday I called in to see a mate and he gave me a couple of bigarse perfectly ripe mangos from his tree.The smell of them is intoxicating and puts you into a happy place.
Anyway got home with them mango fragence still on my hands and nasal passages.Began my first cut on the grips and it was a beautiful straight cut too...BUT ON THE WRONG FN SIDE!...YES the mango affect did it.
Was going to go back and buy another pair but decided to use it for the gluing practice as all this is just trials anway.
Happy to report it's all OK.Feels feels really good in the hands and a lot thicker for easier control I hope? :-)
Yes Rich did full length cut on light grey side facing front.
Hardly noticable.
Fully it's real easy to change them hardest part is deciding which style grips to use.
