Im looking to change grips and was wondering if anyone knows the bar size for replacing the grips. Is there also a throttle tube under the right one so it has to be a larger diameter than the left?
Anyone change grips? Or know bar size for new grips?

Any motorcycle hand grip set, as long as it isn't a Harley Davidson set, will work just fine. They all come with two different sized grips, one for the bare 7/8" bar on the clutch side, and a slightly larger diameter one for the throttle tube (I don't know what that measurement is either).
Streetbike grips will tend to have an open outside end for bar end weights, etc. Dirtbike grips will generally be closed on the ends.
You may run into different lengths - 125mm or 135mm. Seems like Pro-Grip did this...don't know if anybody else did. 125mm is usually a Dirtbike grip while 135 is street...usually.

+1 on the tennis grips. They work OK, but I just got a pair of Grip Puppies in the mail and I'm going to try them out. I had something like these waaay back on my '81 900F , and remember liking the feel. Stay tuned.

Anybody else have some input on grips?
I bought Progrip 725 gels. Superbike.
they are too short..........and it does not appear that the new grips will roll over the throttle tube shoulder like the stock ones.
Tried "stretching" them on the bar......no dice. they are just too short.
Does the ST3 need a longer grip?
thanks!

Hope this is not OT,
but my left grip got loose in the rain and I cleaned the bar and grip as best I could, and re-installed with old school hairspray. (Is this still done?
) Well, I do it. However it still gets loose in the rain or after washing. So, how do you guys install those new grips? My brother claims to use nothing.

Oooops.. never checked in with my grip puppies update. I ended up installing the grip puppies over the tennis grips, so I've got a nice thick,soft pair of handles now. Best combo.
I used paypal with them...strangewell, i was convinced to get grip pups. Went to the Ca ST site and
it showed they accept paypal. But nooooooooo, it wasn't listed as an option
after I'd filled in all the order details. Damn credit card pushers is what they are.
So I didn't order.

hey blutoyz, how did you get it to come up. I went through check out and never saw the option for paypal. I did email them and they said it should pop right up. I'll try again.
