    Default Hand Grips

    Wondering if anybody has found any softer grips for my 2013 Model STS ? Some that would relieve the numb fingers.

    Tricled has some foam covers that work really well, they're a site sponsor, check them out.

    I added a pair of "Grip Puppies" over the oem grips. They absorb some vibration but more importantly allow my hands to have a lighter, more open grip. The grip warmers work just fine thru them as well.

    If you want something that is softer on your hands and allows your heated grips to come through and is really inexpensive go to Spyderpops page and look at the handgrips he has they go on easy and cost less than 15 dollars, they also reduce road vibrations. or you can just call Spyderpops at 501 627-4008.

    These are the ones that i use and really like them.

    Default Spyderpops Foam Grips

    I ordered a set of Spyderpops foam grips for my new F3-S but could not feel the heated grips thru them. I removed them and will save them for warmer weather. The heated grips on the F3 may be different from the ones on the RT's.

    Why not try and see if you can just relax your grip a bit?
    That's what I did!

    These are the one's I chose rather than the Grip Puppies, and I really like them. They just slide over top of the OEM grips. If you buy two pair, they significantly discount the second pair. That's what I did, thinking that when the first pair wore out, I'd have a back-up. But the first pair is still going strong after two years.

    See the attached image. They are from Value-Accessories, one of our sponsors. I offered them to my wife for her birthday, and see love them, so does her best girl friend, our daugther... and so do I.... I will get a set for myself next spring.

    +1! I purchased mine from Tricled. Good for large hands. The heated grips work fine through them and putting a little hand sanitizer on the inside of the grip makes them slide on very easily. Once dry, just a few min, they won't slide at all.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Cool

    Although I haven't used them on a Spyder, I used to use Pussy Grips and they worked fine. http://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Mot...ds=Pussy+grips

    Default Numbness

    Softer grips are ok but I have a question,
    do your fingers get numb when you drive
    your car ?
    If not then I suspect you are gripping the
    handle bars to tightly, loosen up your grip
    some, there is no need to hold on for dear life.
    Give it a try

    Default Hand grips

    Just ordered two sets of foam grips from Spyderpops for both mine and the wife's, looks like they should work good.

    Default Hand Grips

    Received my grips from Syderpops and installed them, they feel great on my hands. They were super easy to install, now just to wait for warmer weather to try them out.
