Aftermarket grips

[indadman]

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.

Will the heated grips work thru shinpopples or grip puppies...Ive heard they will but need someone with personal experience...thx

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.

+1...I actually run mine on low, they get so hot ! ( Grip Puppies, although I do have a dozen on the shins...on the shelf.

Seems like grip puppies are expensive compared to the other mentioned ones...can get 5 pairs of others for $25...

The Foam Grips are by far the best mod I have done based on dollars spent

+1..... IMHO there is not a better and cheaper mod to perform than installing "Grip Puppies". The comfort is amazing! I'm getting 12/14 months out of a pair before they begin to disintegrate. Removal and installation is a breeze:icon_wink:

Just ordered 5 sets of the shinhopples for 25 bucks...Seem the grip puppies are around 12 bucks for one pair...Shins come unpackaged so Im guessing you have to pay for their expensive packaging for one set...?

I am at 2.5 years and almost 30000 miles with my grip puppies and they are good as new. I never considered having to change them out. They are holding up so well I cannot imagine changing them in the next few years.
