Just get the foam ones that you lube and slide over the OEM ones. They are not expensive so if you have to replace them in a couple years, no big deal.Quote:

I've used the foam type grips on almost all my rides. Works great AND they aren't expensive.
I followed that LINK for the Amazon product .... they also led to other similar options .... the ones for the barbell/dumbbell in 5 colors looked promising also .... my concern was how soft the Silicone they used is ..... But they are returnable for free ...... a long time ago I bought some from " grab-on " that were similar to the ones listed ..... mine didn't have the long chrome extension, were EDM foam and covered in waterproofed leather ..... aft 7 years they are still perfect .....

Mine still work great with the foam grips on my ‘20 RTL. I road yesterday at 40* F with mechanic’s gloves and I had to turn the grips to low sometimes because they got too warm.Quote:

Thanks so much for your tip on sponge grips. Mine arrived yesterday and were installed immediately. What a difference in comfort. Tip, use lots of hairspray!
Hand sanitizer works great...
I ordered a pair of these, he has an interesting theory on grips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMmyhYa6mnY
