It’s very satisfying when a product actually lives up to expectations and does what the manufacturer claims! 👏😀👍🏍

[@thecampingbiker791]

Isn’t it just, simple product that does what it says on the tin

[@gerrydavies3323]

Loving the squirrel at 1.32 😂

[@thecampingbiker791]

Well spotted…. I missed that when editing 😂

[@stevesalldayventures]

Glad you picked some up mate :) Helps out quite abit.

[@thecampingbiker791]

Yep, they do indeed Steve.. happy days 😊

[@stevenbrown5237]

They are good for me, got them on all mine and bought foam sleeves for brake and clutch levers as I really suffer no matter what bike it is

[@thecampingbiker791]

Coincidently I bought some lever sleeves ages ago and never got round to using them…will have a dig about for them now you’ve reminded me 😆

[@codemonkey181]

Good video. I use them on my cb650r because my hands like a bigger grip and it helps a little with occasional numbness. They also transfer the heat quite well from the factory heated grips.

[@thecampingbiker791]

They’re certainly good as long as you’re comfortable with them 👍🏻

[@DavidSmith-hn5gg]

Nice to hear this I just bought a set for my cb650r 😊

[@markonmotos]

Another good video, thank you. I find it's just been my right hand that has gone a bit numb on my Suzuki (650/1000) V twins and Triumph (675/800) triples so just fit them to the throttle side over the heated grips. Two bikes from one pack :) make it a no brainer cost wise for long distance comfort. Going down to the Alps via the twists and turns of Route Napoleon this autumn I found the only down side was where a lot of braking effort, due to the terrain and the wider grip, caused my hand to fatigue a little sooner that i'd normally expect but it was at the end of a long days riding. Much better the rest of the time though!

[@thecampingbiker791]

Thanks Mark, good value fix to even minor vibration issues.. even better on a two for one basis 😆 👍🏻

[@richandiben]

Mine have just started to deteriorate after 15000 miles fitted over oxford heated grips. The only downside for me is the increased size of the grips can make it a bit more of a stretch to reach the levers. Fixed 90% of the hand buzz and numbness though.

[@thecampingbiker791]

Made a big difference for me and agree about slight thicker grip but worth it in the end

[@hotdoug1000]

Nice quick video. I thought you had a wiring issue at 7:30 but it looks like dead bug splatter on the Oxford cable 😂 I presume the heated grips may only be a marginal loss of temperature and that some folk may have to use a higher % when using them. Thinking about for my cb125f but still unsure.

[@thecampingbiker791]

You’ve caught me out, I’m not into deep cleaning…plenty of dead bugs as mementos of my travels 😂 yes, only marginal loss of temperature and even in winter I’d only be using on mid setting most of time so plenty of extra capacity 👍🏻

[@deanwelsh5702]

I went to a 16tooth front sprocket makes a massive difference to first gear and drops the revs at higher speeds .

[@thecampingbiker791]

Sounds good, does it lose anything at low speed..less torque?

[@themotorbikecamper5990]

Spot the guest appearance at 1.33 !!

[@thecampingbiker791]

Sneaky appearance there 😂

[@JBAYMEDIA]

I put these on my Yamaha R3 and they hurt my hands more than the stock ones. Put pressure points on my palms and made them red. I think just a little too thick perhaps.

[@thecampingbiker791]

@@JBAYMEDIA I could understand that, they are a bit thick but guess that’s what helps with vibration.. I’ve changed bike since then and haven’t put them on new bike but personally haven’t had an issue with pressure points 👍🏻

[@JBAYMEDIA]

@@thecampingbiker791 Yeah. I actually found vibration wasn’t any better with them on, but it probably depends on the bike you are riding. The R3 doesn’t have that much vibration to begin with. I like the idea and feel of these puppies, they just didn’t work for me.

[@thecampingbiker791]

@@JBAYMEDIA they worked on the 500X but that was a bit viby, but I do get the thickness issue..

[@Bob-ts2tu]

just fitted these an hour ago to my 750 hornet, coz more often than not i get pins and needles and a numb right thumb, so hope they help a bit. I also use athletic wrist brace supports that help on long days too. on my last bike i fitted 25mm pullback risers as well, so may do that as well. btm mine just say 'for motorcycle/scooter' and not specifically honda, and slid on with about the same force as you used here, so i don't think the label makes a difference either. GL

[@thecampingbiker791]

They’re very good, particularly on longer trips…I’m going to fit them to my new bike this weekend…NX500 👍🏻

[@Bob-ts2tu]

@@thecampingbiker791 just got back from a 170 mile round trip upto egton bridge, and yeah, they seem to help, well worth the £15 anyway, so happy i fitted them :) thanks

[@thecampingbiker791]

@@Bob-ts2tu no problem, easy fix really 😊

[@IrelandRider]

Maybe a silly question, but don't they need any adhesive to make them stick?

[@thecampingbiker791]

Not silly at all…. no glue needed as they’re a very tight fit and have that sticky but not sticky (if you know what I mean) type of rubber on the inside so grip well, which is also why using soap helps to get them on…even then they can need patience to twist on.

[@IrelandRider]

@@thecampingbiker791 yeah I know what you mean. Thanks for the reply 🙂
