Fitted my Pro-Grips today.Thanks to Carlosw, your pictures showed me how much to trim off before fitting. The only difference, i found it, was easier to put a long bladed screwdriver inside the original grips and run it around to ease them off after warming the grips first. Instead of Alcohol i used Methelated spirits to clean the bars of old ahdesive. Smile

Hey that's Great! how do you like these grips?

I found them really nice in terms of no slipping and great size, not to big nor too small at least for my hands. Also they seem to dump vibrations more then the other set up with the grip puppy or the original grips.

Not had a chance to try them out yet, Saturday 60mph winds and showers and, only just fitted. They do advise 24hr to dry out before riding.Today Persistant rain and strong winds all day. Sad

I had the Grip Puppies for a year and they started to wear out. When I first bought the scooter I bought a pair of elk skin gloves. These things are built proof and very comfortable but I really like Carlos idea.
Instead of removing the original grips in order to install the Progrips, i installed the them on top of the originals.
Tight fit and big, but people say I have mans hand I do like the over size and feel. I did have to cut off part of the accelerator side so that it would not act like a Cruz control because it was binding on the very end weight.
