Well... My .02 is that once it was brought to light that a sponsorship was required in order to sell products out here....the person promoting his items should have ceased to do so and removed any posts doing such promotions...until he was approved and signed up.
That would only be respectful and fair to Lamont and the other vendors that have already paid their fair share.
My .02.
No tax.
No shipping.
No refunds. ;-)

Got mine in today. I installed them and was totally impressed by the clarity of the instructions. I have bought other products from vendors here where the instructions pretty much said "refer to owners manual" or "go on line to www. XXXX". That is pretty weak in my opinion. These grips looke nice, install easy and I am sure they will work well, although I have not had a chance to try them

Way to go...Lamont runs a professional board...much better than the average board. It takes not only money, but a lot of hard work to satisfy the population. I respect him for what he does...the average person wouldn't put up with all the crap...

My Original Grip Buddies arrived in the mail today. Put my back out yesterday lugging dog show stuff. So, it may be a few days before I can write a review. They sure came fast!!!! Look just like they do in the videos on the vendor site. I'm sure installation will be smooth! And I bet they are going to help with my throttle hand fatigue!!

My grips came Friday, I put them on later in the day, and very easy to install and felt good. I went riding with them on Saturday for about 100 miles and the knuckles in my hand were cramping (they never cramped before without them). I went riding again today with them on and once again my knuckles in both hands cramped again,I finally took the, off after about 80 miles and no more cramping. So I guess I will ride without them. I do think they are a nice product and install easily and feel cushy, but my hands say no.

Road 200 miles with mine on. They made the grips too fat and difficult for me to hold comfortably. Took them off and road another 200 miles. Felt much better.
EDIT -- The grips are soft and comfortable to hold. The problem is that they are ~1/4" thick and this adds nearly 1/2" to the diameter of the stock handgrips. If you have smaller hands this could create the issue I have with them. I may put them on my Zero-Turn John Deere.

In producing and selling my grips for the better part of 9 months on 6-7 different Forums, this is the very first time your discomfort issues have ever come up. Usually, just the opposite. Notwithstanding, I am happy to take them back and send you a full refund. I only want super satisfied customers, so please advise by email how you would like to proceed: info@originalgripbuddies.com

No refund necessary. It wasn't that expensive and it's not the first thing I bought and didn't like or use. In fact, I've got a boat load of stuff around here that I've paid far more for that doesn't get used .

No refund necessary for me either. I still believe you have a good product and would/will recommend it for others. I do believe it probably does work for most people!

There is the "Pay it forward" thread for unused P&A. Much better than taking up space and collecting dust.
