After doing a few long rides, its obvious that the stock grips are not very comfortable ... so, what are some good aftermarket grips that will fit the 1125R? Any that help with hand fatigue/numbness or vibration? Also, are there any aftermarket pegs that help w/ vibration? Pictures/links and prices would be helpful. | ||

IMHO the best grips for me are the Buell Traction Grips 55959-02Y I also use the Lightning footpegs that are 1" lower. http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/Product.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=1&CategoryID=7&ProductID=1288  (Message edited by Two_Buells on March 26, 2008) | ||

Two_buells, do you notice a difference in hand numbness w/ the traction grips? Also, I think part of the problem with the stock grips is that they are so small its almost as if i'm really having to squeeze to give throttle ... then my right hand starts to cramp on long rides where constant throttle is required. The Traction Grips look a little bigger to me ... or am I just seeing things? | ||

I also have the Buell Traction Grips. Big improvement since they are larger in diameter. | ||

Unless I’m working a twisty road anything under 50 mph my hands go numb with any grip. Hwy speeds I’m fine and the Buell Traction grips help. My next step is to add a set of Heli Bars, 1” up and 1.5” back. When ever Heli comes out with a set. I had that set-up on my XB9R and liked it. And there was less weight on my hands. Yes the grips are larger and a good gel padded glove helps also | ||

For grips: Rizoma! Rizoma! Rizoma! They have pegs too. DOOM Rizoma 'Sportline' grips are universal and extremely comfortable (even though they are aluminium/rubber). We have used these on everything from road to race bikes with no problems.  Unfortunately Rizoma do not list replacement pegs for the XB series any more (although the full rearset kits are available) and do not have any available for the 1125R yet. If the 1125R peg mountings are the same as the XB/R then LSL offer decent aftermarket aluminium pegs that will fit. (Message edited by trojan on March 27, 2008) |
