    Aftermarket grips

    I have an F6B (grips not heated), and for the first time in my life I am beginning to experience some cramping in my hands. I like to take long rides (500 - 700 miles/day), so I need grips that are going to take some pressure off of my hands. I should also mention that have relatively small hands...about a medium in riding gloves.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for aftermarket grips?

    No more hand pain for me

    Use a compressor and an air nozzle to install, will take 2 mins. to install both grips

    Yes, the shinpopples & go-cruise works for me. I ordered enough of the grips to last a while but they also worked on scag mover & a botton machine. Smart simple product.

    I went Kuryakyn and wish I had not. I would stick with the OEMs and add Grip Puppies or something like the Shinpopples if I could do it all over again.

    Shinhopples did the trick for me. They're effective, easy to install and cheap.

    It oughta be a crime to have this much fun on a motorcycle.

    Works fine, just takes a little longer for them to heat up (i.e. transfer through the extra padding).

    I had grip puppies on my last bike. It took a little longer to start feeling the heat. But, once the heat was there, it was plenty warm. It was really a non-issue.
