Oversized & Hard Grips

[TurboMonster]

I just got a set of oversized Aluminum grips for my Ducati Motard. I had to trim the cam a little to get to work with the Ducati, but I've very happy with the quality of the parts. I got them from MotoCyco (the same company that makes the Grenade Brake reservoir).

I have a set of Harley-Davision grips on my Ducati Monster. The H-D grips are for a 1" bar (made of hard plastic), so I had to use a inset tube (the insert tube is 0.875" ID & 1.000"OD) to mount the left side. I cut the cam off the H-D throttle side and slipped it onto the stock throttle tube (siliconed).

The H-D grips are 1.5" OD ($80+ USD) and the MotoCyco grips ($125 USD) are 1.375" OD but are direct replacements.

I put oversized grips on the sport bikes because I have Tendonitis is my right wrist. The large diameter feels better on longer rides (I have the standard rubber grips on my track bikes). With my heavy leather riding gloves on I can't really tell any difference in the soft rubber and the hard grips.

I wanted to see what everyone else thought on the subject.

Wow, and I had to change to soft gel grips....

Yes...

I'm still in the plan stage right now, but I plan on using a Aerocharger Turbocharger from Hi-Performance to minimize the packaging. The only issue I'm still working out is fuel management. There a few options available, I just need to decide which will be the most reliable and how much I want to invest in the project.

I'm only planning on running 5psi which should give me about 120HP. With the Aerocharger there power-band should be extremely wide.

I'm hoping to have it ready for the IMS show in October, but it depends on how work goes...
