    Best Grips

    I installed Kuryakyn ISO grips and now regret it. Had them on my Vulcan and loved them. But on the F6B I get too much vibration. I've added the grip end weights, even added some lead into the small empty space in the grip end weights, but still get numb hands at certain speeds.

    I'm thinking about buying and reinstalling the OEM grips with the big grip end weights, but thought I'd first ask the group for recommendations. Any after market grips you truly love that eliminate vibrations?

    Thanks in advance, folks!!!

    For what its worth I have used the stock grips with "Grip Puppies" since day one. Great feeling with little if any vibration and a snap to install! I'm on my second pair as I wore the first pair out.

    Here's my original "thread" on the subject!

    bob109, Do you have a link to California Sport Touring's website? I have ordered from them in the past(Puppies for my V-Strom) but now when I try to access the site all I get is a page for a motorcycle service location with no link to internet sales. Are they still selling online? Thanks for the help!

    Encountered the same problem trying to access CST website!

    Here's another source/vendor! I bought 4 pair GP's and received a discount.

    I added Grip Puppies to my F6B as well. I had them on my BMW also. I have larger hands so I prefer how they make the grip bigger plus they are quite comfortable. Love'em.

    I had grip puppies on my Silverwing. I needed them, as the 2 cyl parallel twin, even with counterbalancing, made the stock grips buzz and tingle after a half hour. The 'B on the other hand, with its smooth-as-silk engine, has never given me the least bit of hand tingling or fatigue. I like the stock grips.

    I'm perfectly satisfied with the stock OEM grips. I always wear gloves though.
