Default New Grips Opinion Needed

I am purchasing Heli Bars. Looking for opinions on change in grips. Driven, Grip Puppies, etc. Fortunate to have 2 s1000rr's. This one will be set up for comfort. Also wonder if the Sargent seat improves comfort.

Well I can't help you on the grips as I still have stock. However I did go with Heli bars and the sargent seat...and I can confirm that at least in my opinion, both were good moves. The Heli bars only change the geometry a little but for some reason, it made a big difference to me...less pressure on my wrists and somehow my back feels less tired too.

As to the seat, its softer, shaped better, and has more grippy material. Net effect for me is that on long rides, it is more comfy, and yet on the track / in the twisties, it is easier for me to shift from side to side and to hang off. Win win. I have heard people say they don't like that it is so soft, and for those folks, I understand Corbin is the way to go. Nonetheless, I'm happy with Sargent.

You have 2 S1000RR's? wow. Why? and also what colours?

Thanks for the evaluation. Thunder Grey and Yellow. Sold a k1300s and Daytona 675. Decided on a whim to buy a second s1000rr.

If so, Mulberry Bags is definitely a good company to make you a fierce statement style.It features the metallic tweed effect on the totality, which will give every outfit a sophisticated edge. However, it is crafted by texture leather. This is certainly an amazing piece of art.
