    I just purchased a set of crossroads 7degree bars. What kind of grips would you guys recommend? I'm a new ride but I'll be doing alot of commuting and hopefully some track days in due time. Are the under $20 generic gel grips i see on Ebay worth a damn? or is it worth it to spend a little more?

    I went with the skull grips on stock bars, they really only do about half as good as the stock grips. but, u can tell a difference as far as hand fatigue goes. :D

    I use Progrip gel grips, works for me. Keeps right-hand fatigue down since I don't have to hold the throttle grip as hard as with stock grips (and that's for any bike I've had).

    Only way to get better is to get the super-thick foam grips like you see on GoldWings and full-dresser Harleys, but those would look ODD on a Buell!

    I just want something semi thick, I wear an XXL glove and the stock grips are fine but i can see how a little more girth would allow for me to better control the throttle with comfort.
