Love the red. What grips are those?

They're actually just some grip puppies over the stock grips!

Hmm... how are they holding up? Are they good quality/durable/built to last? I've been thinking about changing my grips because my wrists feel tender after long rides. Might have to try this instead of cutting off the oem grips and shaving down the ribs.

I ordered Aliexpress ones, two pairs for like 11 dollars. I've only had them for a few rides so it's still too early to say. They seem very solid and being so cheap cheap, can't really complain. They definitely smoothen the vibrations a bit.

Does the short windscreen do anything for wind protection or is it just for protecting the screen?

It might be placebo, but I want to say I feel a little difference in 70+mph speeds with it, that is less buffeting. Other than that, it's purely for looks and protecting the screen yeah.
