After years of riding Harleys I found the tiny diameter grips on my F6B to be very uncomfortable. Someone suggested grip puppies. WOW. Just did my first ride with them today and they make a great difference. Much more comfortable, although they are very expensive at <$10. Easy to install and they feel great.
So far the two cheapest things you can add (grip puppies and hand wings) have proven to be the best extras for the bike.
I got the large Kury wraps with throttle boss to make up for the tiny diameter grips. Cheap cruise control......Originally Posted by hoglaw
I also just took my first ride with the Baker Hand Wings today....yes, noticeable decrease in wind on the hands in "Closed" and yes, lots of airflow in "Open."

YUP, had them on my Venture, started getting hand cramps on my 2013 Goldwing with stock grips, installed Grip Puppies, no more cramps. I like um.

What size did you install? Did you trim them? I have long baseball fingers and I do ache holding this narrow throttle for an extended time. I'll try me. I had Kury oversized on my Yammy and it was nice.

Hmmm, don't remember. They were tight to get on, but soaking them with a mixture of soapy water did the trick.
+2 grip puppies! Heaters work thru them..been using them since day 1.

I found some for $10 for the large which they say are 5" wide. The OEM grips are just short of 5.5" for the rubber. Thanks for the idea.

I don't see 5.5" on Amazon. Only 5". Do you happen to have a model number?
