Bought sponge grips for my first motorcycle 30 years ago. Absolutely love and recommend them. I use a Ram mount for my phone and can recommend that also. It comes with a rubber strap as a secondary support to secure the phone. USE IT! A bumpy road can and will shake the phone free otherwise. I was 300 miles from home when I found myself with a broken phone.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Oh no, now you've made me paranoid about using that rubber strap thing, lol :)

[@67daltonknox]

Have you tried the throttle rocker? It's a small plastic spade that binds to the throttle with velcro. Instead of having to grip the throttle with your whole hand, you can nudge it down and hold it with the end of your palm. It is very relaxing for the right hand not to have to grip the throttle. I find these so useful that I even have one on a bike with cruise control.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I have seen these, but haven't tried one yet. They're very cheap, so I should really. I'll put it on my list. Thanks :)

My Grip Puppies are the best. Used soap and water to install and been riding an hour or more in rain with no issues, and they were long soaked through. Also I hear hair spray works well too. About 22,000 miles with them, so about a year commuting here in Florida. Best $20 I ever spent on my bike. Dulls vibrations also. 2017 BMW f700GS

I agree Grip Puppies are great, I put them on all my bikes and in fact just ordered another pair this weekend for my new bike, arriving in a couple of weeks :)

[@CorrupteddSanity]

I've had grip puppies on my last 4 motorcycles as well. They resist the element of heat. It hovers around 50° Celsius for a few weeks in summer here in Abu Dhabi. Yes, my bike isn't in direct sun but other rubber items not in the summer disintegrate. Plus they're very comfortable for my larger-than-average paws.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Agree completely :)

I've never suffered from handlebar vibration. The Sound Bomb: great idea. I can't be bothered with trackers. Phone cradles. I use a pocket. Locking wheel nut caps: great idea.

Totally agree with the grip puppies, had mine on my bandit for the past five years, i ride all year round in the wonderful UK weather, they are only now getting ready to be replaced, as for fitting them over the oem grips, i use a tiny drop of washing liquid (little fingernail size at most) just to lubricate them one one edge and slide on, It's small enough to do the job and not slide around the grips after fitting :)

RocketMan perhaps get a Stebel horn for the BMW - way louder: bit.ly/2vSmQDI

Hi RocketMan, just discovered your channel and I love it! Are you portuguese?

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Hi, Jose. Muito obrigado 😊 No, I’m English. I arrived in your beautiful country 18 months ago after 30 years living in France.

[@TheMegamsp]

@@RocketMan_Moto I was about to ask that too. As i'm curious, what is your ocupation/job? Or are your retired? I live in Madeira island. I hope you enjoy our country and have a happy life here. P.S. : You have a beautiful voice, and the sound is cleasr. Some day you'll make a video showing your recording equipament...lol. Just subscribed to you channel.

@@TheMegamsp Thanks for your kind words :) I have had so many people ask about me that I will be posting a short video in the next couple of days revealing all. Stay tuned...

6:24 Or a Hockey Puck... 🏒

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Someone else suggested a puck, too. Ride safe :)

[@justaguy4788]

instead of the block, i always used a hockey puck.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, I've heard that suggestion - good one :) Ride safe.

[@royferguson3909]

great idea

[@stavencapp]

Grip puppies were useless. They made the grip faaar to thick, especially if you have small hands, and when they got wet the clutch side would slip. I bought them for my s1000r to try and avoid removing the stock heated grips.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Can’t say I’ve experienced this, but then again it rarely rains down here😊

Go to a hardware store and get a free piece of scrap wood. I've been using one for over 25 years to keep my bike's kick stand from sinking into hot asphalt parking lots and falling over in the extreme summer heat.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Lol, I actually use a scrap of wood for my other bike. But you're perfectly correct. Thanks :)

J'ajouterais un clip que l'on pose sur la poignée d'accélérateur qui permet d'agir avec la paume de la main, ce qui très relaxant. J'ai ça sur toutes mes motos, même celle équipée d'un régulateur.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Exact! J'en ai acheté un d'ailleurs depuis que j'ai fait cette vidéo - très pratique, comme vous dites :)

[@babarsport276]

@@RocketMan_Moto 😉 pour moi le meilleur rapport prix (4 euros !)/confort apporté. Je ne comprends pas que cela reste inconnu...

[@rasmushjs5318]

I hawe a ishockey puk bolted on my kickstand foot.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Radical solution, but I imagine it works👍😊

[@matthewyabsley]

OK, so I'm fitting two sound bombs. One is not enough. :-))

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Haha, yes they're great fun! :)
