Ok. This is really weird, but I have a friend who has these grips I really like. On his grips it says progrip and superbike. So naturally I did some research online to find that it's the progrip 699 model. I ended up going to the store and finding them but they actually looked different (texture) but the design and stuff was the same so I thought it was just my imagination. So I get home and what do you know, it's the same thing but it's completely different. His has a much better feel because it is made of a different material. I have provided a picture to show what I mean. As I mentioned before, I love the grips he has on them, yet I don't even know if they make them like that for the 699 anymore. So rather than try to figure out why this has happened (unless somebody knows off hand) I will just try to find others that feel good too. Can somebody recommend some grips to me? I have a yzf 600. Thanks.
Well thats just the thing. It is the same grip, but do you really think that using it a lot will make it turn out smooth and glossy? Or do you think there is a better chance that there was a change in the manufacturing process since his was purchased.
