NicoleH28 · May 8th, 2011, 02:04 PM

My new Pro Grip 719's

nattygirl · May 13th, 2011, 01:15 PM

Looks good!!! The grips match well with the color of your chain guard.

D2Moto has 'em listed for the same price minus 40% ($6) with WS40 coupon code but they describe them as having "open" ends.

I just had my TBR installed yesterday!! I was shocked at how loud it was!! i had a guy tell me it was the smallest 600 he had ever seen!! LOL But i love it!! It really opened up the feel of the bike too!!

NicoleH28 · May 14th, 2011, 09:21 PM

Yeah, its crazy the weight difference between the stock exhaust and the slip-on!

I hope they still have blue because I placed my order yesterday.

NicoleH28 · May 16th, 2011, 08:58 PM

What are we talking about...grips?

nattygirl · May 18th, 2011, 06:24 AM

Yeah, guess I won't be putting on grips after all. My order was refunded cause they were out of stock. I'm OK with it though. I was iffy about it anyways cause I wasnt sure how the red would match anyways. Guess it wasn't meant to be for me.

NicoleH28 · May 18th, 2011, 07:16 AM

Hmm...why don't you get all black 719's?

nattygirl · May 18th, 2011, 09:05 AM

I'm considering these ones now, although they're pretty pricey. But I think they'll go great with the look of the bike.

dragonboy · May 18th, 2011, 11:50 AM

Just finished reading through the entire thread. Great evolution and customization. Hope to join the ranks soon, as I'm still shopping for a used one. Been a long time rider though.

Anyways, thanks NicoleH28 for the inspiration.

NicoleH28 · May 18th, 2011, 01:31 PM

Natalie those are SICK - you should FOR SURE get those.

Thank you DragonBoy! I hope you find a bike soon!

play2pwn · May 18th, 2011, 01:35 PM

I'm doin the same thing too, lol my chain guard is already red too but sticking with dark smoke ZG and tryin to put a red spikes windscreen bolts but came across a problem the lower screws on the windshield is longer i might remove the fairings and try to see what can I do.

Ik eyeing on the same d3 grips as well for 33 buck i think its worthit

Still deciding about clipons if goin wc or new vortex ones with 7 degree angle
Im might go vortex though coz it will look good with a red preload adjuster.

Sorry for bad grammr htc phone givin me a hard time typing, lol

They have cheap ones on ebay that look very similar

dragonboy · May 18th, 2011, 02:11 PM

Play2pwn, please share more about your decision to go with vortex clip-ons. Been doing my homework on my future mods.

Was set on WC but not too sure now.

dragonboy · May 18th, 2011, 02:17 PM

farter, it says material is plastic on the ebay auction? Is this correct? Expected it to be aluminum. Thank you.

Just for the looks tbh but the wc is the way to go if u wanna keep the stock height

From what I heard dropping the front makes it unstable at speeds but it makes you enter and exit the curve faster. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Im 170lbs 6'0ft tall btw.

dragonboy · May 18th, 2011, 02:31 PM

You can install the WC over or under the triple tree, so you can get pretty aggressive without having to raise the forks (lower the front). Correct, lowering front makes turning more aggressive but you lose some suspension travel. I plan on keeping forks stock height but lowering the bars w/clip ons.

According to the "how to" section, WC clears the fairings and tank. Don't know enough about vortex was hoping you could shed some light.

BTW, since you're tall it'll give you more reach by installing them under the triple but will put more pressure on your wrist.

Dunno but I'm not liking the looks of the wc, lol

Mine are aluminum. I got them from a different seller but they look just like those but mine are silver. They do have some little scratches in them though. They're probably rejects made in the same factory as the name brand ones.

NicoleH28 · May 19th, 2011, 05:46 AM

Play2pwn - I LOVE my slip-on and thanks for thinking my bike is bad *ss LOL
I went riding yesterday with two friends who have Harley's and I could still hear my bike....it's loud!
As for performance, I can't tell. However, I haven't shimmed carbs or put a dyno kit on my bike. I think my bike is fine the way it is, I don't plan on doing any of that!

I see where'd you got those grips? Are they open at the end or you cut them?

NicoleH28 · May 19th, 2011, 06:05 AM

I got them from a dealer on Amazon. They are open ended Pro Grip 719's.

nattygirl · May 19th, 2011, 06:19 AM

Farter - thanks for the heads up on that eBay link. I'll probably look into getting those ones. What seller did u buy from?

Play2pawn - where did u find the d3 grips for $33? Every site I've seen was at least $41 plus shipping.

NicoleH28 · May 19th, 2011, 07:15 AM

Natalie - are you going to get clip-ons or rear sets at some point?

nattygirl · May 19th, 2011, 12:58 PM

I thought about getting clipons. I had Phr3k's red shinto clipons in my hands, cause I helped him get his order over here to the US and man they were tempting. I was considering just buying them off of him since he sold his ninja. But I didn't have the money to spend at the time. I really don't need them though, which is another reason why i didn't get them from him. Don't really need rearsets either. I'm trying to get myself to stop spending money on the bike, cause I've spent too much already.

The seller was called factorykiss. These one's look cool too... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Handl...item4aab1405e9
They look kind of like the expensive ones from Rizoma.

Sorry it was a typo lol I was replying via htc phone its 44
I need to find some black wc clipons or I will end up with the vortex ones with the 7 deg. Angle

nattygirl · May 20th, 2011, 06:29 AM

It just so happens that while I went for a very short ride yesterday, a blue Yamaha rode up next to me and had these exact bar ends and grips in blue on his bike. They looked really good. Since the seller is the2wheel, I think I'm gonna go ahead and buy them from them. I got my levers from them and couldn't be happier with them. Price is great also.I probably won't use the bar ends though, just the grips.

NicoleH28 · May 20th, 2011, 06:37 AM

I need to STOP looking at new stuff for my bike.
I want Proton flush mounts, Luimoto seat cover, and HID'S now....

want1sobad · May 20th, 2011, 06:54 AM

fwiw nat,

the anodizing on the grips is going to fade. as you know, i have the same 2wheels levers as you (i got black and gunmetal). the black has faded to a purpleish/silver in just over 3 months. not a big concern to me as i purchased for functionality, not farkle. i'm thinking the grips are more of a farkle and you would be disappointed if they faded. if you really like the style, i'd go with the driven d3 grips.

just wanted to give you a heads up....

kaiserz · May 20th, 2011, 07:17 AM

Dang that's one hot bike. (I wish i have the money to spend on farkles but right now I'm trying to get all my gear together)

NicoleH28 · May 20th, 2011, 07:21 AM

Thanks! Don't worry you'll get them.
