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).Quote:

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:Quote:

I took these off and installed the Shinn's...My Shark skins where worn smooth from use... I am thinking the Shinns hold water???
I buy them by the half Dozen, have them on Harley, F6B and my Kaw Z1000 , I like the feel of a hand full , don't know why they make grips so Skinny !!!!Quote:

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.
