    Default hand grips

    My stock hand grips get sticky when it's summer. I'd like to change them and need suggestions.

    Maybe the stuff you wrap baseball bats or golf clubs or tennis rackets.


    One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

    Kuryakyn grips for a Honda gl1800..... great loog, great comfort, and vibration free. Love them...

    That is for a 2013 and on... if earlier, use kuryakyn for 7/8'' handle bar

    Default TricLED

    I got these foam grips from TricLED last year and they're still in like new shape. Very comfortable winter and summer. The warmth from the heated grips come through the foam too.

    Easy to install..... they just slide on like condoms.

    I agree that the grip covers are the way to go. Got mine at the dealer but don't remember the brand. If you have big hands like I do they are more comfortable and easy to put on. After a couple years easy enough to cut them off and replace without spending a lot of money.

    I've used GRIP PUPPIES for years, now, and THEY ARE GREAT. They eliminate vibration, increase grip diameter, allow the heated grips to warm your hands, shed water, and are easy to install. Oh, and they are NOT sticky.

    The problem with grip puppies............... they have a seam which will annoy the sh*t out of you.

    I also just wear a pair of thin, deerskin gloves.
    They're super-soft, and comfy, and keep me from sunburning my knuckles!

    That's what I use. The leather allows for a softer and more comfortable grip. It lacks in looks, but sure is pragmatic.

    I installed a pair of Grip Buddies (www.pirateslair.com), they are neoprene, very comfortable, plus I wear gloves all the time. Works fine for me...

    I have the Kury GL1800 grips on my RT I really like the looks but they also become sticky on the rubber parts. I don't want to take them off and I haven't found anything to cover them. Has anyone found any thing that will make the rubber less sticky other them covering it?

    Like Joe I use these but I put tennis rackets grips over them. I like a thicker grip and the wrap adds that plus even more grip cushion
