Billet Proof Designs Vans Waffle Motorcycle Grips – 125mm Black Pair for 7/8" Bars, Soft Vibration-Damping Rubber

These are Billet Proof Designs Vans "Waffle" pattern rubber motorcycle grips — a 125mm pair in black, made in the USA to fit 7/8" handlebars for improved comfort and control.

Bring the recognizable Vans waffle sole texture to your handlebars with a purpose-built motorcycle grip. Manufactured by ODI for Billet Proof Designs, these grips combine a medium diameter profile and soft proprietary rubber to reduce vibration and increase traction. They slide on easily when paired with a standard throttle tube and are sold as a matching left and right pair designed for 7/8" bars.

How do these grips change the feel of my ride?

The waffle pattern gives multiple small contact points that improve traction while the softer rubber soaks up road and engine vibration. That combination helps reduce hand fatigue on longer rides without overly squishy feedback.

• Medium diameter for a balanced grip and control.
• Soft compound for vibration damping.
• Waffle texture increases surface contact and anti-slip performance.
• Thick rubber ends increase durability where contact is highest.

Will these work on my bike and how do I install them?

They are designed for standard 7/8" (22mm) motorcycle handlebars and require an OEM or equivalent throttle tube for the right-side installation. The grips include end holes to assist air-assisted or lubricant-aided slip-on fitting.

• 125mm length fits most street and cruiser bars.
• Left and right pair sold together for matching feel.
• Use compressed air, soap solution, or grip adhesive as preferred for secure fitment.
• Right grip needs a compatible throttle tube for proper installation.

What are these grips made of and how durable are they?

Produced in the USA by ODI with a proprietary rubber compound, these grips prioritize grip and shock absorption while resisting everyday wear. Thickened end caps and robust rubber formulation offer extended service life under normal riding conditions.

• Made in the USA to consistent manufacturing standards.
• Proprietary rubber balances tackiness and longevity.
• Reinforced ends protect against scrapes and frequent mounting/unmounting.
• Pattern resists glazing for sustained traction over time.

How do these grips compare to other aftermarket options?

Compared with smooth or knurled grips, the waffle texture delivers a unique blend of traction and comfort familiar to fans of Vans footwear. The medium diameter and soft compound sit between hard performance grips and cushioned cruiser grips, making them versatile for many riding styles.

• Distinct tread-inspired look that stands out visually.
• Balanced feel suitable for daily commuting and relaxed touring.
• Not overly thick, preserving control for precise throttle input.
• OEM-compatible fitment for easy swap-out on 7/8" bars.

Who is this for: Riders who want a distinctive Vans-inspired aesthetic with practical benefits — motorcyclists seeking better vibration damping and secure hand placement without sacrificing throttle feel. These grips are ideal for street bikes, cruisers, and custom builds that accept 7/8" handlebars and a standard throttle tube. If you value comfort on longer rides and a recognizable tread pattern, this Billet Proof Designs pair is a direct, made-in-USA upgrade.
