I'm looking for foam grips for my 2010 RT-S. I am looking for grips that will fit over the existing grips to give me a little larger diameter. I presently have the Throttlemeiser on my grips which should not interfere. Maybe foam paint roller covers ? Yellow ones? :>) I am sure I have seen posts about these before. Ebay has hundreds of grips but I have no idea which ones will slip over. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Have to agree ref Grip Puppies

Fitted them a couple of months ago on my Spyder RT -S SES Model

1 - Fitted without any problems - Easy install
2 - Less fatigue on hands and they give a much more positive feel for the throttle control
3 - No problem when they get wet - In fact you can still feel the heat from the heated grips and can use the heated grips to dry them out
4 - Original grips will never need replacing as I will just replace the Grip Puppies

I rate them and highly recommend them

Hope this helps

They really do work and as winter approaches I took them off till spring and put on the Oxford "Hot Hands" Wraps and they do almost the same thing with :"HEAT!" :2thumbs:

Cut the length to fit with scissors, then a wet the inside of them with water/and slight soap and work them on. Dont over soap.

Also, the heated Spyder grips comes thur mine fine. Gets very warm
