Better than I thought....
December 13, 2012
"***2006 YZ450F**** When ordering this product I wasn't sure if the kit would come with everything..... It does. All seals rings bearings and bushings came and every oem piece is replaced. The only thing that it does not contain is grease. The needle bearing comes relatively dry so I applied grease upon assembly. Just keep this in mind. Also a good press is required."

Great tool
December 4, 2012
"First off let me say the only downfall to this product is that the rod could be longer but, it still works great. I have used many different methods to adjust chains but this by far is the easiest and quickest. you would never notice how far your alignment is actually off without it. Great piece of mind when working on or around chain driven components."

Great for beginners
December 4, 2012
"Quick break in and good support all around. The buckle system is a little tricky but works and hasn't broke after many hours of abuse. Good support when stand up riding, or walking around. There isnt much ventilation, but it doesnt bother me all that much. I wear boots for work and the size comparison is the same. If you are new to riding boots they will help increase confidence. Relatively slim toe doesnt require much shifter adjustment."

So Nice
December 4, 2012
"**** 2006 YZ450F w/ ProTaper 1 1/8" Bars**** Once purchased and initially installing, take a second to give them a good spin on the bars, you will be pleased. I have destroyed two sets of grips using this throttle tube and no damage at all the to the tube. It is completely sealed and they are so smooth your able to control the throttle more precisely. Plus they look great, you almost dont even want to use grips!!!!"
 
Pro Taper grips are some of the most widely used grips in professional motocross because of the quality grips they offer. The Pro Taper Pillow Top grips are no exception. Pro Taper Pillow Top Grips are covered in small square cushions (pillows) which give the riders hands extra support and comfort. Made of a custom Kraton rubber compound which provides a super tacky feel and great glove traction. The thickness of the grips provides excellent vibration dampening which will aid in the resistance of arm pump and hand fatigue. Fit any standard or oversized handlebars for motorcycles and ATVs with a twist throttle application.

Expected more
December 4, 2012
"I love pro taper products, however when I used these grips, I was surprised. They were too tight to install with any trick out of a book I used. And once finally installed they never stuck to the bar or throttle tube (using pro taper ball bearing throttle tube). I removed them and re glued and it was the same effect. End cap durability has been great, But i didnt notice a difference in hand or forearm comfort. It was the same as any half waffle grip."

Nice Pipe
December 4, 2012
"***2006 YFZ450*** Works well with stock slip on. I enjoyed the thick flange. No issues with the flange deforming. Added a little bit of low end grunt and a nice tone overall."

Much Better Than Plastic
December 4, 2012
"***2006 YZ450f**** Wasnt sure if it at first it would fit my carb but no problem. Easy to install in a small amount of time. Had to replace my stock one because of stripped plastic threads but this alleviates all headaches and keeps the system sealed from outside dirt and unwanted hot start use. Must buy for the next time your working around the carb."

AWESOME
December 4, 2012
"I have always been real skeptical about using "grip" style tie downs but they work so well i have to open a can of man to loosen the buckle. the carabiner makes it easy to use. More importantly its quick to tie down the bike, especially once the sun has about to set. there is a perfect amount of strap length, not a lot to tie up afterwards, and what little there is can easily be secured with velcro straps. These are all around perfect. It should be noted that they are sold in pairs."

Great fit and comfortable

"No itch, great ventilation, nice style, good padding. Did not have an issue with size even after washing. Have had a few spills and not even close to ripping."

Better Than Expected
December 4, 2012
"***2006 YZ450F*** I thought by looking at the pictures and description there would not be enough to re shim my valve train. It comes with a broad range of sizes with 3 pieces for each size in increments of .05. Easy to read marking on shim face makes it easy to identify which one you need. The case is built perfectly, you could shake it up and they would always stay organized. Would recommend and purchase again."
