I am wanting some better grips. I find the grips on my 2013 too hard and a little small. Looking for something a little fatter and softer. Heated might be a plus. I have show chrome on my valkyrie interstate and they are fine but the F6B grps are longer. Anyone found any better grips?
Kuryakan (sp) nice & fat, look nice too
ShowChrome with matching ShowChrome Barend Weights. Great looking, thicker than the thin stock and much more comfortable.

+1 on Grip Puppies...
I have large hands and the extra thickness is just enough to make the OEM grips comfortable... and the "foam" has a nice feel.. and, it doesn't interfere with my Deluxe's heated grips.
Agree on the Grip Puppies. They really improved the feel of my grips without interfering with their heat output.
Fan of Grip Puppies here as well. I have them on another bike but really like the stock F6B grips also.
I use inferno grips. Slightly larger than stock warm and comfortable.
I also liked the grip puppies but I think the heat transfer to the hand is reduced. There is some warmth transferred through the grip puppies to the hand but not nearly as hot as without the grip puppies.
Grip Buddies are another option. Work great IMO.
The neopreme (EPDM Foam style), grab on grip covers, work best with heated grips.
The GP 's and the GO grip covers are the same thickness, just different material. GP's are open like a sponge, GO 's are dense and conduct heat best. I've owned multiple pairs of GP's on my bikes with heated grips. They work fine for comfort , but rob heat compared to GO's. Both have the same comfortable cushion.
But hey for $12 bucks an opinion..
grip puppies helped with my arthritis a lot.
Next step is to install heated grips. They are naturally fatter.
