I'm going to make a 1000 mile trip this spring or summer and want to replace the factory grips. I bought some Renthal medium grips and would like any advise this group can give. Is it a good idea to fill the handlebars with steel to reduce vibration? My CNC guys have some bar stock I could use. Also if anyone has advise on what to take on the trip that would be appreciated too. I've done some 150 mile trips before but nothing this far. I plan on traveling from Chicago to Ohio via route 30. I plan on making this a two day trip. I plan on over 300 miles the first day. I'll start early to get out of the city before traffic becomes to "thick". This should put me in the middle of Ohio by the middle of the day. I've never taken 30 across the state, maybe someone knows of something to see along the way? Can't wait for spring, Brian "Ride Wind!" [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

For long highway jaunts I use a Throttle Rocker (www.throttlerocker.com) so I can take my hand (mostly) off the bar for a while. It's 10 bucks well spent. I've got some pretty cushy grips that I think came from Dual-Star but I can't remember the name, maybe Pro-Grip (sorry, Big K is at home today). To tell the truth, the bar vibration has never really bothered me much, even with stock grips. My butt gets sore before my hands go numb. __Arden --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "brianstarr@y..." wrote:

I'm definitely looking to the throttle attachment "thingy". Thanks for the link.

I really miss Throttle rockers original design... any one like the hook and loop design over the original all polymer? I run the Pro Grip 737... feel better than the stockers. West

That's the way I carry my expensive gear as well. Some will chime in that carrying anything on your body is dangerous in a fall, very true, but my philosophy is always not to fall. West

No worries that way about shaking lens elements loose from vibration. The bags have a cross strap that keeps it tight and secure to your back........ -don [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

and loop design over the original all polymer? I bought the new model and quickly gave it away it sucked. I now have the Vista Cruise lock with a set of Pro-Grip Gel Grips #714. I never had a problem with the vibration and have done 500 plus miles in a day. It is nice to lock it in and take your hand off for a minute or two. John A-18 Fayetteville NC
