Progrip grips questions!!!

Ninja007 · April 20th, 2009, 03:02 PM

So I ordered some Progrip Superbike Simple 600 grips‏ from motosport.com in preparation for the Woodcraft clip-on install

When the grips arrived today, I noticed something strange, one of the grips was thicker than the other. The hole sizes on the two grips were different, one was slightly bigger. On the inner end of the grips, one says "24" and one says "22". Sounds like two different sizes to me...So finally rolling around to my question: is this normal? I thought they were supposed to be the same size, but maybe I'm wrong. If anyone has bought Progrip grips for their bike, could you please share what you have and if they are the same sizes or if one's bigger? Here are some pics to help clarify what I'm saying. Thanks so much everyone!

The skinny one is for the left hand side, the fat one is for the throttle side. You'll see when you get the old grips off.

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't know for sure. Makes sense tho. Wow, now I feel dumb.

...pitiful. Thanks man! Whew! Now I don't have to send them back.

also, dyeclan, diggin' the decal on the bike! what is it? more pics. maybe?

Curious about those grips, let me know how you like them and if they are what you were expecting. I have been thinking about getting me a set.

I put the same grips on when I installed my Woodcraft clip-ons. I am very happy with them as they do a great job of killing vibrations.

I have a set of progrips also. Picked them up off ebay for like $6. They are 100X more comfortable than the stock grips. I'll probably be putting some clip ons soon so hopefully I can reuse the same ones.
