Title: handle grips

to the guys who got new handle grips, do those gel ones really make a difference? Looking for something a little more better feel and hopefully to reduce the amount vibrations if possible.

I pulled off the stock throttle grip, so it looks like it should mostly one side fit all. Anyone have recommendations.

I fyou are anywhere where it gets cold try heated grips. Awesome in the early spring/late fall.

Progrip Gel grips are awesome :thumb: I was still having some vibe problems and Pronator sent me some grips that go over those and wow so comfy. I don't have a clue what you call those so you'd have to send a message to her!

Grip puppies? They slip over your existing grips and are like foam? I have these on my Duke and are great for vibes.

Tried a cheap set of foam grips from JC Whitney but still feeling the vibrations and tingle. May have to consider some of the other ideas mentioned in this thread.

Not sure what to get but I can tell you what NOT to get! Don't ever buy anything that looks like these. They suck shaZam! (http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/251214_2137366036997_1331504559_2538196_4090883_n.jpg)

Yes, I've had those on my GS before.

Yes, that's exactly what they're called. Less than $10 shipped even!

These definitely help with the vibrations and also increase the diameter size of the grips, which can be helpful for those with larger hands.
