| Hands getting black from grips...Will it ever stop?
Everytime I touch the grips my Brute my hands turn black...Will this crap ever stop rubbing off?...Is there something I can do to make the stuff stop rubbing off?...I don't mind getting my hands dirty but there have been times where i've had the bike out then get cleaned up to go some where and need to put it away in the garage and my hands get all black from the grips and I have to clean up all over again...It's just a PIA!!!

| Cut them off and get you a good set of Spider Grips or Pro Grips. They are the best out there and are only about $12 a set. | |

| Yup. OEM grips will always do it.. especially the cheap-o's that Kawi puts on there. | |

| I just took my OEM's off. I never had that problem. The only reason my grips came off is that I straightend the handle bars up and painted them..But there are good ones under $15. | |

| I like what I've read on those "Pillow Top" ATV grips by Pro Taper. Protaper Pillow Top Grips - Dirt Rider Magazine They run about $12. Does anyone have a pair? | |

| Thanks guys for all of the wonderful information...I haven't had time to get on the computer lately so my thank yous are a little late... 
I ended up getting a set of the Stearns Anti-Vibration Grips and really like them...They almost massage your hand as your riding...And they don't turn your hands black...  | |

| That's what I do. I made sure to get one with a black palm so it wouldn't show. | |
