Neoprene Motorcycle Grips vs Foam Grips

 

[Bob Denman]

I've used them in the past; but not on my Spyders.

They're much more durable, than foam grips! :2thumbs:

I have used grip buddies for years and love them. The new ones have been comfortable and durable

I have used the old style grip buddies. On my 2010 rt. Liked the fatter bar feel. Just ordered the new style for my 2014. Here is the link for the owner/maker of these order from here and save a couple of bucks. http://www.originalbeemerbuddies.com/CanAm.html

Not sure..!!

about the new ones but when we used them back when they were hard to keep clean and tended to get tacky...but then the foam ones would packup and smooth out getting slippery. You could give them a try, not a great expense and you my find them very comfortable...:thumbup:

I've had both, if I have a choice I'd go neoprene every time. The foam grips will tend to swell up and split when they get wet. Still usable, just not very pretty!

I made set using some scrap wetsuit material I hand on hand, and neoprene adhesive . . . they work great, absorb vibrations, well, and, because wetsuit neoprene is closed cell, they don't soak up water . . .

How do they work with the heated grips? I would think they would insulate the the heat??? I have large hands so would like the grips to be larger.

What about theses?

Found these on ebay:

I ordered these based on my model and color..either one can be reversed for a solid black color if preferred. Less than $9 shipped.

The grip buddies I had worked good.

Thank you everyone! I just ordered the Original Grip Buddies for the Can Am and will let you know how they are when I get them.

 

[Cavman]

Thanks for reminding me! I have a pair of the originals and they are worn out. They improved on the sticky as mine kept rotating. I fixed them from doing that.
I need to order some new ones as mine are ugly and worn.

Neoprene Motorcycle Grips vs Foam Grips

Used them for years. I go through a pair in about a year's worth of riding. Figure I get about 12-15,000 miles out of a set.

 

[Omcge]

I have them on both my Spyders .
They are very comfortable on my large hands and Arthritis.

My heated grips still warm my hands . . . just takes a bit longer to start feeling the heat.

Wow

I ordered these http://www.originalbeemerbuddies.com/CanAm.html and I can tell you they are great. They thicken the grips and are really padded.
I noticed that there is no slipping feeling with them. Like if your wearing gloves and your hand slides around in them a little.
These are solid!

Thanks for the recommendation!:clap:

 

[one2doo]

I have them on my F3 feel great on the hands:yes:

They are much better than expected. My hands were sore using those small stock grips. These are thick and comfortable. Even on rough roads you don't feel any vibrations through them.
