USPS finally delivered my Grip Puppies today. Received 4 pair, just what I ordered, so I have some spares on hand! Installation was a breeze. A misting of Ammonia/Water mixture on the grips and inside the Puppie Tubes and they slid into place with ease. Based on just 11 months of service from the first pair, I should be good for several years
after my first year of using them i finally ordered 2 more pair
one pair 4.5 inches to accomodate my throttle lock and a 5 inch pair for the other side..
now i have new ones and a set of spares
I put original GP's on my F6B when I first got the bike. After 14 months and almost 19000 miles, they are still in great shape. The OEM grips are just too small for me. Also, I didin't find GP's to be hot at all last summer in the hot Texas sun. I always ran similar grips on my Harley's so they feel just right in my hands. I guess, like everything, personal preference.

Just replaced my Puppies! This is the third set for me! Got 11 months from the first pair and 17 months from the second pair. The right puppy began to separate, so off with the old and on with the new. Made a change to my installation procedure. The first pair I used a 50/50 mix of Ammonia and water which worked OK. This time around I used a drop of Dish Washing Detergent with a little water and a acid brush to apply the mixture to the OEM grips. The puppies literally slipped right on. Then took my air gun and gave each a shot of air to memove any water/soap residue. Worked like a charm.
I love the feel of the GP's. With my big mitts, the increased diameter over the OEM grips makes for a perfect/comfortable fit
