I have a lot of nerve damage and I would like to put some thicker grips or something on my 2014RT. Does anyone have any ideas that will not require me to shave the brand new gear shift arm? I dont mind trimming the rubber if needed but wont like trimming the gear shift as I had to on my 2012 a year and a half ago.
Thanks for any help/suggestions you can give.

They are foam and slip on over your existing grips. I have them on mine. I think they are called "grip puppy's" or somesuch.

I have the $12 amazon grab on foam grip covers on mine. They have been there for 2 seasons now and work quite good. No complaints.

Grip Puppies... :thumbup:
You can shave them to just about whatever diameter will work for your application!
Good Luck! :D

Original Grip Buddies. Loved mine. Almost wish I had not put on the kuryakan grips.

No shaving anything and very comfortable. Only thing I will say is mine did start to show wear after about 4,000 miles. e.g. the knurling or texture on them started to wear off. They could have gone another 4K if that doesn't bother you.

That's the ones that I used, then trimmed down for a more comfortable fit (for me). Chupaca posted the link.

I have run into the same situation on my 2014. I re-installed my grip puppies on the handlebars and they seem to work for now. Grip Puppies and another supplier are both mentioned in posts above.

I have used Grip Puppies too, but found I prefer the soft bicycle grips found at Fred Meyer's or Target for $10. I use them on all my bikes and ATVs. Grip Puppies made the grips too fat for my hands.
