• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Longer grips?

I have read here about Grip Puppies and ISO Grips, etc.. that change the diameter of the grip and comfort of it, etc... BUT what about grip mods or new grips that would make the grips longer?

I have large/wide hands and notice especially on left grip that I wish I had about another 1/2" to 1" in length to the grip because I find myself really keeping my index finger not relaxed because the Shift button is rubbing up against the side of my hand. (Not sure if my description really paints the picture well, sorry)

The raised end cap on the grips makes it hard to just let your pinkie kinda hang over the end, even if you wanted to do that.

I am going to order some Grip puppies for the needed extra comfort and diameter I need, and I guess that might help some in being able to overhang my pinkie, but was wondering if there are any other options out there to lengthen the grip on my RT SE5
 
Longer grips

On my RS changing grips was one of my first mods..
Replaced stock grips with a set of Gel Pro grips mainly to get rid of ridge,
Then put a set of Grip puppies over them to fatten them up...:2thumbs:...
ps: Did the same for RT

Longer Grips

If you do the Kuryakn clam shell grip modification you will have both a larger diameter and longer grips as a result. The extra length of your grip will be approximately 2 inches per grip.

This mod has been performed by a number of forum members, including myself. It requires a bit of cutting and grinding to make the GL1800 clam shell grips fit your stock RT heated grips. Following is an excellent thread, authored by Lamonster, that explains the installation process.http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25394
