I still prefer to use gloves in the summer....because of this...to avoid the gunky grips. You can get brand new grips and they won't be sticky for a while...but as your palms sweat and coat it with oils from your skin..it will build up and if you ride a lot....after a while you'll be hating the stickiness again.

I am running these on the Lo. I have tried alot of different ones over the years and really like them. Soft but still some style. The billet grips I had on my Badboy for a while were the worst.

I use Son-of-a-Gun sparingly on the rubber parts of my grips. Keeps them from drying out and/or melting. Not sure I'd use it on full rubber grips as they can get slippery. But any king of rubber dressing will keep them looking good. Just use sparingly. But on my HD Chrome and Rubber grips, it works great and keeps them looking good.

These are the grips I have...
