    Default BIGGER HANDGRIP NEEDED - any foam grips work?

    i have the spyderpops foam grips, which i like but was wondering if there
    is a foam grip that would be a little softer and a little larger in diameter?
    tryed doubling up . Fail! any words of wisdom from the gurus. with the work
    involved , i dont want to go to iso grips. have them on the vic and are nice.
    just not the right look on the rt.
    thank you --irv

    grip cpver.jpgI bought a pair of leather grip wraps off Ebay. they lace on with leather cord. they have a foam on the back of them. surface doesn't get sticky either. I think they were like $26.00.

    I have foam grips and they definitely affect the heat function.
    On HIGH, I can still get some heat. On Low, not much at all.
    Still ther tade-off for comfort is well worth it.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    I have been using Grip Buddies, are neoprene grip wraps that add thickness or diameter to motorcycle hand grips.
    I did not attach the grip wraps with the tape strips so I can take them off if needed.
    Since my hands are large the extra diameter helps a lot.
    Don't use them in the cold season due to using EXO2 heated gloves, heated gloves and grips keep my hands warm.

    Tennis racquet wraps did the trick for me.
    I used the thicker ones w/ foam backing. get them at Wally World for about 5 bucks each-takes 2, one each side. Easy to install and just cut to length. Start at grip end and go up.
    They are cheap enough for sure and marginally thicker than grip puppies
    Doubt they'll work with heated grips though.

    The foam grips are made from a foam tubing that can also be bought in longer lengths from specialist suppliers. I got some from a shop called Pararubber that sells rubber mats, foam etc. I'm guessing there are similar shops over there. They sold three different types of foam tubing with the same internal diameter but different thicknesses of the foam. The ones used with normal foam grips is the thinnest, so you would have two choices to go up to.
