Grips.

[Clickjack]

The grips on my S4R are too small for my hands.  has anyone found thicker, softer grips that are well made?

I have Grip Puppies - soft sleeves around your existing grips. They add thickness and comfort. Get a few pairs and a can of hair spray. After a while they stretch outwards (see picture) and when you roll them up to reposition, you might tear it (I did). They don't slip or rotate after the spray dries.

i use the Oury grips, $10.. thicker then stock, soft and semi-sticky, reminds me of my bike messenger days!

when wearing my gloves on long trips, my hands would get tired from "gripping" the bars.  I don't squeeze the grips, but the radius of the stock grips ('09 696) and the comfortable grip radius of my gloved hand do not match.  So I took the advice given here and bought a pair of grip puppies.  Thank you dmf!!  Not only is the radius now perfect, but the added padding is a plus!  One of the best, cheapest mods I've made!

I use these:

They're a bit larger than the stock grips, softer and stickier.

I went with a set of dirtbike grips based on advice from my old duc mechanic, boy was I wrong.  I am definitley gonna have to look into new grips.  Thanks a lot for the advice DMF.

I love how stopintime,a European, is promoting a small shop in my neighborhood.    CA Sport Touring is a really cool shop and the folks that run the place are

I put Progrip 714 (rally/offroad) on my Monster several years ago and love them.   They're tapered so that the centers are a bit thicker than the edges so they fit ergonomically in the palm of the hand.  Not mushy like foam grips, plenty firm enough to get all the feel I need.  Highly recommended

+1 on the Grip Puppies!  I used dish washing liquid soap to slide them on over the stockers.  I'm used to comfort grips on my cruiser and this was the best solution.  wish I could have found ones with gel but oh well.

The Oury grips mentioned above are great grips for those with bigger hands.
