Have your tried the new wooden grips, yet?? Alittle pine sap, but no black.

You should just take the grip off. I mean, why's it there anyway? People put solid chrome grips on their bikes all the time. Chrome handlebar, chrome grip, doesn't make any difference. Take it off and ride without it for a while. If the problem continues, you obviously have a bigger issue.

 

Not from doin the hand jive it's from the grip itself.Seems like chrome grips would get hot from the sun in summer

 

Sounds to me like the rubber is starting to break down. My grips are gonna need replacement after another season or so (puttin it off, as they are heated and $$$), and they do the same thing in hot weather.....leave black crud on my hands.

As far as chrome getting hot in the sun? No. Chrome reflects the sunlight. Black absorbs it, which equals HEAT. Which is cooler in summer...a white t-shirt or a black one? Same principle.
