Did not find them, I guess they stop making them.

Thanks for the info.

They still make them. You'll probably have to call the parts guy direct.

So what is so special about the BMW grips, they look very simple?

Just asking.

 

[kurt]

Tapered, larger diameter and a slight cushion to the feel.

For me, they just feel right! I like the size, wide outboard then taper down towards the inside. The diameter fits my hand and feel very comfortable.

I'm sure it's just personal choice.

Why are the two part numbers different? Is the right side and left side different from each other?

Yes, the right one has a larger hole for the throttle tube.

Got mine at FJR Goodies. Just call and ask for Glen. He usually has them in stock, even though they are not listed on web site.

If you plan on putting grip heaters on you should get 2 right side grips so you can put heat shrink tube on left bar. The heat shrink will keep the bar from soaking up the heat.

Do I have to make any modifications to the 2007 FJR if I want to install the BMW grips?

 

[jet mechanic]

No mods are necessary at all.

I just went to my local BMW dealer and they were hanging on the acc's wall in the parts room. They are a standard BMW "sport grip" replacement grip.

I believe they were right around $10.

I was also able to put the Dual Star grip warmers under them.

They are pretty comfy, IMHO.

Was that $10 for each side or for both? I was able to find both with shipping to Chicago for $35.00.

They are $10 and some change per grip at my local BMW dealer. I ordered a pair late last week.

They are shorter than Yamaha grips. For the throttle side I put a Vista-Cruise throttle lock to take up the space. For the clutch side I moved the clutch housing on the bar to the left to take up the space. Here is a link clicky. This is where I found the info. It is all very simple to do.

Also if you haven't done it yet, now would be a good time to do a G-2 throttle cam, it makes a big difference.

Good luck; A.C.

Funny, those things were always the first to go off my BMWs...

Where can you get this tubing you speak of? Thanks!
