I'm after a new set of grips & wanna know what you guys prefer to use. I've got a pair of ODI Ruffian full waffle & they seem to be pretty good. Don't get sore thumbs to much with them. I prefer a softer compound. What do you ride with?

Everyone is different so you will get a lot of different answers. I would just buy a couple different kinds and try something until you find the best one for you.

I like pro taper though. Been using the tri density for awhile and recently just put on the new 1/3 waffle. They are extremely soft. Putting them on with the grip glue was a serious pain though.

No, seriously.
I know what you mean, they are great. Do they still do the full waffle ones? Plus at £24 for a pair, that's a bit steep.

ODI Full waffle are a close 2nd. They flex and are not hard as a rock like OEM.

Renthal or Honda. Renthal is really just a deluxe version of the Honda grips with more color and pattern choices.

TAG Cradle grip. They are a little thicker than most, which is why I like them. The soft compound is SUPER soft... too much, actually. I rock the mediums and they feel like a Renthal soft.

Everything Honda makes is top quality! Fit and finish is spot on. Kawasaki which is all I have personally owned makes a guy appreciate that aspect!

Odi half waffle lock on.

I love them, no more safety wire or grip glue. The Emig version is great but the Odi version had more grip for my preference.

Odi pro compound white put on with clear enamel spray paint. along with the odi fusion pro throttle tube with the ball bearing insert. buttery smooth feel. no need for wire tie with clear enamel. i got the bars off my buddy dustin pipes #95 Sx and his mechanic used some kind of silicone and i almost couldn't get the grip off..
