    Default Grip covers or replacement

    I just got a 2012 RT, the grips are hard and my hands go numb. What Grips or gtip covers can I get to eliminate the vibration. I have small hans so I cant go to think. Thanks

    I had some cheapie foam grips that I bought from a local cycle shop. They were too big and felt like I was holding the wrong end of a baseball bat. I just ordered and received a new set from Lamonster Garage and they are awesome! Check to make sure they will fit your model (I have a 2017 RTS).

    Also, maybe look into some handlebar end weights to reduce vibration. Several vendors sell them.

    I like the foam grips and if you decide you don't like them you're not out big dollars. TricLED.com

    have mentioned this elsewhere,
    I use (for more than 10 yrs. now) tennis racquet wrap.
    I use the thin foam backed from Walmart, about 3-4 bucks each (need 2).
    start at the handlebar end and go up.
    They help with vibration and increase the grip size which seems to help my arthritis.
    They don't work very well with heated grips

    I use Grip Buddies.
    Longer lasting, transfer heat, don't soak up the rain.

    You may like the TRICLED foam grips better they are larger and cuts that numbness down.

    I have used several sets from TricLed and like them very much. Note, when putting them on, use some Hand Sanitizer on the handlebar. They will slip right on and it will evaporite quickly.
    Ride in comfort,

    +1 I just got them. A little bit of hand sanitizer and they slide right on.
