Can you re-use your grip?

If your good They can be pain to get off, but it will come off in one piece to be reused. I'de use some grip glue when you put the new tube on too.

actually i think the busa grips are better as far as dampening vibration,but i can live with the R1 grips.maybe ill add some heavier bar ends

I did the r1 mod on both my 1k and my busa last year. I drag race so it made a world of difference. No re-gripping to reach wot. I reccomend it to anyone that doesent like re-gripping... As for how much of a difference, well on a 241hp 1k it makes a helluva difference just in the way that bike comes on lol, As for my busa, it still makes a nice difference, you can get into the meat of the power quicker...

You are lucky
cheap mod in US.
In Germany R6 part is about 26 $ + shipping
and the R1 grip horrible about 70 $ (€ to $ changed 1: 1,36)

So i took the R6 lease:
