Thanks AJ, looking at replacing my Standard Grips. Don't need heated ones up north but something more comfortable than the standard.

I'm useing the Grab-On grip covers from Motorcycle Larry (MCL) I got when I brought the Highway Blades.
They add a bit of comfort and size to the standard grips.

I recently purchased a pair of 'grip puppies' from Andy Strapz, and found it to be much easier on the hands. I have bigish paws so the standard OEM grips are too small.

Hello Boys & Girls in ST Land,

Have tried various brand grips - never too much satisfaction though - then  :think1 :think1 :think1 - having in the past and still do - ride bicycles - utilised exisiting grips on ST - purchase "Triathlete Bicycle handlebar tape" and expiremented as too thickness - after a while - a snug fit in my gloved hand _ summer & winter gloves and all for about $23.00 - simply binds over the previous wrap - at an angle - just like you see tennis players with their racquet undertake and you build the thickness to suit.

Try it - it works and lasts as well.

I ride                  :dred11


Regards
Bob

If you want grips that work, get these. Their big and your hands just sit on em and you don't have to wrap your hands around em. Used heaps of em over the years and these are the best, especially if you have big hands
Think I got em off Ebay for $50.00 delivered and that's super cheap cause they work :thumbsup
