fit suitability
While the grips do have a good finish and durability, the fit does not match all bikes. The dimensions should be included in any item that is "fitted" on a bike. These grips are 20% shorter than the ones they were to replace.

Comfort at last...
I replaced the stock grips on my Aprilia Shiver with these gel grips and I've never looked back. Installation is a bit of a pain (as it is on all grips); however, I am quite pleased with the results. These don't offer anything new in the appearance department, but they make long rides MUCH more comfortable. This is one of the most cost-efficient modifications you can make. Buy some today.

They're OK
For all the hype I've heard about gel grips and dual compound grips, I'm not impressed. The ProGrip 724s don't cut down bar vibes any more than the stock grips. The color is cool, but I'm not guessing how long till it fades or part of the grip gets caught on something and rips. The flange part at my electronics pods/lever perches is slightly annoying. I never caught my gloves on the stock grips, but three times now in two rides I couldn't get my fingers off the levers and back on the bars. Good thing I held on to the stockers. Also, cutting the grips for bar ends was kind of a pain.
