Anyone used these grips from Brolam? Are they any good?
Cheers Nick

Fitted but not yet used...bar end is moulded into grip its self and is in there very well..gave it a good tug.. ..and it wouldnt come away..BUT..not sure about long term, look very smart though, I bought the diamond shape ones and they feel very comfy in the hand... ...

I have a pair on my series 3 and they are the nuts. Having the bar end sitting in a groove and not touching the bar itself means there are no vibration issues as the 2 dont touch. This means no more f****ng about trying to get the ends jammed into the rod ends. I have the diamond ones as well and they are really comfy.
Would reccomend

i thought the idea of bar end weights was to fix them to the metal on the handle bars to stop virbration ?

It is. Your bar rods should be drilled and tapped and the bar end weights should be screwed into them. Problem is you have to loctite them in and, even then, they can come out_____as one of mine did just as i was about to go under the Mersey Tunnel (so, I couldn't turn round and go and look for it ). I've not bothered with them since although they do reduce vibration
