Recommended Additional Upgrades
The RCB HG55 Rubber Handle Grip is one of the most popular “bang-for-your-buck” upgrades for any motorcycle. Designed as a universal fit, it prioritizes comfort and vibration dampening, making it a massive improvement over the hard, slippery plastic grips often found on stock bikes.
Here is why the HG55 is a staple in the riding community:
Dual-Texture “Diamond” Grip
The HG55 features a high-traction pattern often called a Diamond-Knurl surface.
-
Superior Friction: This pattern ensures that even in heavy rain or with sweaty palms, your hands won’t slip off the bars.
-
Open-Ended Design: It is an “Open-End” grip, meaning it is compatible with Bar-End Weights, mirrors, or handguards without needing to cut the rubber yourself.
-
Softness: The rubber is soft enough to absorb the high-frequency vibrations from the engine, which helps reduce hand numbness during long rides.
Why Choose the HG66?
-
Anti-Fatigue: If you ride a single-cylinder bike (like R15 M or MT-15) that vibrates at high RPM, these grips act like a cushion for your palms.
-
Universal Fit: It fits almost any motorcycle with a standard 22mm (7/8″) handlebar.
-
Low Profile Style: It doesn’t look overly “flashy.” It provides a clean, sporty look that fits everything from a daily scooter to a dedicated track bike.
Pro Installation Tips
-
The “Soap” Trick: Do not use oil or grease to slide them on! Use a tiny bit of soapy water or rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will lubricate the grip for installation and then evaporate, “locking” the grip in place.
-
Throttle Side: Remember that the grip with the slightly larger hole is for the Right Side (Throttle) to accommodate the plastic throttle sleeve.
-
Safety: If you are a performance rider, consider using Grip Wire to safety-tie the ends, ensuring they never rotate during aggressive riding.
