It’s very satisfying when a product actually lives up to expectations and does what the manufacturer claims! 👏😀👍🏍
Isn’t it just, simple product that does what it says on the tin
Loving the squirrel at 1.32 😂
Well spotted…. I missed that when editing 😂
Glad you picked some up mate :) Helps out quite abit.
Yep, they do indeed Steve.. happy days 😊
They are good for me, got them on all mine and bought foam sleeves for brake and clutch levers as I really suffer no matter what bike it is
Coincidently I bought some lever sleeves ages ago and never got round to using them…will have a dig about for them now you’ve reminded me 😆
Another good video, thank you. I find it's just been my right hand that has gone a bit numb on my Suzuki (650/1000) V twins and Triumph (675/800) triples so just fit them to the throttle side over the heated grips. Two bikes from one pack :) make it a no brainer cost wise for long distance comfort. Going down to the Alps via the twists and turns of Route Napoleon this autumn I found the only down side was where a lot of braking effort, due to the terrain and the wider grip, caused my hand to fatigue a little sooner that i'd normally expect but it was at the end of a long days riding. Much better the rest of the time though!
Thanks Mark, good value fix to even minor vibration issues.. even better on a two for one basis 😆 👍🏻
Good video. I use them on my cb650r because my hands like a bigger grip and it helps a little with occasional numbness. They also transfer the heat quite well from the factory heated grips.
They’re certainly good as long as you’re comfortable with them 👍🏻
Nice to hear this I just bought a set for my cb650r 😊
I went to a 16tooth front sprocket makes a massive difference to first gear and drops the revs at higher speeds .
Sounds good, does it lose anything at low speed..less torque?
Spot the guest appearance at 1.33 !!
Sneaky appearance there 😂
Nice quick video.
I thought you had a wiring issue at 7:30 but it looks like dead bug splatter on the Oxford cable 😂
I presume the heated grips may only be a marginal loss of temperature and that some folk may have to use a higher % when using them. Thinking about for my cb125f but still unsure.
You’ve caught me out, I’m not into deep cleaning…plenty of dead bugs as mementos of my travels 😂 yes, only marginal loss of temperature and even in winter I’d only be using on mid setting most of time so plenty of extra capacity 👍🏻
Mine have just started to deteriorate after 15000 miles fitted over oxford heated grips. The only downside for me is the increased size of the grips can make it a bit more of a stretch to reach the levers. Fixed 90% of the hand buzz and numbness though.
Made a big difference for me and agree about slight thicker grip but worth it in the end
just fitted these an hour ago to my 750 hornet, coz more often than not i get pins and needles and a numb right thumb, so hope they help a bit. I also use athletic wrist brace supports that help on long days too. on my last bike i fitted 25mm pullback risers as well, so may do that as well. btm mine just say 'for motorcycle/scooter' and not specifically honda, and slid on with about the same force as you used here, so i don't think the label makes a difference either. GL
They’re very good, particularly on longer trips…I’m going to fit them to my new bike this weekend…NX500 👍🏻
@@thecampingbiker791 just got back from a 170 mile round trip upto egton bridge, and yeah, they seem to help, well worth the £15 anyway, so happy i fitted them :) thanks
@@Bob-ts2tu no problem, easy fix really 😊
Maybe a silly question, but don't they need any adhesive to make them stick?
Not silly at all…. no glue needed as they’re a very tight fit and have that sticky but not sticky (if you know what I mean) type of rubber on the inside so grip well, which is also why using soap helps to get them on…even then they can need patience to twist on.
@@thecampingbiker791 yeah I know what you mean. Thanks for the reply 🙂
