Hello there all, it's been a while since I have been on here Smile I was thinking about changing the ugly grey handle bar grips on my bike so wanted opinions from fellow bikers before splashing £50 on a pair.

If anybody has any experience with these are they worth the money for aesthetics/functionality? I was also wondering whether to go for the red pair with black grips or the black with black grips for my 03 CBR600RR (red model)

Thanks Thumbs Up

Look pretty gash to me, but more to the point £50!!!! For grips!?!

Waste of money IMO, just buy some Renthals or something if you're really that fussed about it "matching".

If you have to have Rizoma look grips why not get some cheap copies...

And also, i know by law white and yellow lights are the legal requirements for headlights, but what if dark tinted (not solid black) headlight protectors are used? Does this count as "black" light? lol and the small central bulb will still be white so are such protectors legal?

If it's clear, it'll be fine. I used a dark tint (which looked opaque from a distance)... that made my headlights look blue/purple... so I conveniently lost it when I was getting airtime on speedbumps. I'd stick with clear if you want to protect your headlights. If you've got a large lens like say a 929 Fireblade or a ZX9R or a Blackbird, it makes sense.
