I have the stock grips and well they are terrible in my opinion. The shops around me have a poor selection and i dont want to buy something i cant feel. Next best option is what you guys recommend. I want something thats more comfy and offers more cushion and is perhaps a little thicker too so my hand is more open.

What does everyone here like that I can find online?

Oh man, you guys are on top of it. Those are the exact grips I was going to recommend. I just bought my 2nd pair last weekend. Had to give up my old pair when I sold my last bike....  :cry:

They're the first ones I look for when I get into a shop. Normal grips are way too skinny.

Wow, they make some nice stuff. A little pricey but the style seems to be worth it.

I like katana grips, along with katana bars, katana triples, katana brakes, katana forks, katana wheels and katana shocks ... Sorta like the Blues Brothers routine where Dan Aykroyd goes, Cop motor, cop brakes, cop suspension, cop tires, cop seats, cop lights ... ad infiniteum.

Cool.
