ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle handlebar safety grip has a stopper (1) which has two main functions in preventing the rider from injury. Through the shape of both the clutch and brake levers on off-road motorcycles, and the positioning of the stopper (1) to the rear of the grip, it is not possible for these levers to come fully into the handlebars and crush a rider's fingers. This incident is most common when a rider falls to the ground and his hands are still in contact with the handlebars, resulting in the finger tips of the rider being squashed between the lever and the handlebars. Through the stopper (1) surrounding the circumference to the rear of the grips, a slope is created, therefore preventing the riders hands in wet weather conditions from sliding off either end of the grips and enabling the rider to gain greater control of the motorcycle.
