    Iso grips help with arthritis?

    I guess I might be getting arthritis in my hands. Clamping down on the stock grips is becoming increasingly uncomfortable. Just wondering if anyone in the same boat has gotten some relief with the Kuryakyn iso grips. I really hadn't wanted to go that route, but if it helps significantly, I sure will.

    I've used them in the past and imagine they would. What I don't like is the feel like they're slipping a little as I twist the throttle. Sure would be cheaper though.

    Have you tried a good pair of vented summer gloves. I put the grip puppies on also but didn't care for the movement and feel. I always wear gloves and thought I would try a new pair (can't seem to remember the company right now) with a bit of padding and it has worked out fairly well for me. With the Baker wings under the mirrors I get enough wind to keep my hands comfortable even on a hot day.

    They fit tight! I spray a little of my wife's hairspray on the existing grip and inside the cover then.....slip them on quick!

    My arthritis might be alittle different it's the gripping action that causes discomfort in my hand, therefore it doesn't matter what type of grips/puppies are installed. What helps is use of a palm rest, with this item I can more or less relax the grip and yet control safely.

    I have the Kuryakyn grips that fit over the stock heated grips and they work great for me..Larger than the stockers which helps my grip...Also I use, a pair of fingerless padded gloves from Victory that really help a lot.....

    I installed the Kury ISO grips a few weeks ago----and wish I hadn't. Too big for my short fingers.

    I installed ISO black grips a week after I bought my F6 but I might be a bit opinionated since I've had them on my last 3 bikes. I really didn't like the skinny stock grips and set them as a priority change.
    The only problem I have now is finding a good throttle lock that will work with them. I ordered the Breakaway brand when I ordered the grips only to find out from Breakaway that they will not work together and they do not make one that does.

    I just bought the MC???? cruise control and I hope it helps my hand. I will let you know as soon as I get the time and become brave enough to tackle the install. Mostly I need the time to do it without interruptions which will allow me to go slow and methodical and do it in one shot.
