I was looking for some gel grips and it appeared that Progrips would do the best. I went to many parts sites. The best deal was at Triad Power Sports!! They came in today and fit perfect.

David, it looks like the pro grips are 8.99 to 13.99 on Rocky Mtn. ATV plus shipping of course (reasonable from RMATV). Can you tell us what they run at Triad Power Sports?
Probably need to get a set for my wife Elizabeth on the Foreman.
Thanks, Matt

I had to order the grips. When I compared the shipping from some of the online sites vs the tax from the local store , the local won. I got a Trailblazers discount. I think they cost $11 and change. They are softer rubber than the stock ones but I will prob still wear gloves to ride. It will be intersting to see if the new grips reduce the hand vibration as proposed. I think they will help.

David, wait till you see what they to there. After you get them and sign the reciept the charge on the credit card will be higher. Call and ask and they say "oh thats shipping"

Glad to hear it David but was that the reciept you signed or the actual charge to the credit card.
They did that to me twice on parts I ordered. I payed in advance, went to pick the items up and came home. On the credit card statement it was a higher price than the reciept showed. I did some calling around and thats what they said..."shipping charges"

yes it was TPS and I agree, that along with the service dept taking forever to complete work AND leaving bolts out AND loose are the reasons I do not use them.

Of course I came up riding dirt bikes and I like to have that hard feel so I can feel what the bike is doing better. I dunno, but lots of people seem to put gel grips on their bikes.

The grips on my Grizzly are hard but it's well worth it in the winter time. They keep my hands nice and warm.
