Replacing the grips?

KY jelly inside Grip Puppies foam works

OK... I bought a pair of Grab On foam grips... destroyed them trying to get them on my 2013 RT Limited. There must be a secret. Hair spray dries too fast, soapy water no matter how soapy just didn't work. Give me more clues and details here on the secret. First attempt I took the handle-bar caps off, that didn't work well at all. The lip on the end of the stock grips seem to catch/bind/hinder the Grab On from sliding. 2nd attempt, left the caps on, that actually seemed to work a little better and provide a wider, smoother, slicker surface for the Grab On to slide over, at about 3/4 of the way on, they just wouldn't go any farther... no amount of pulling or pushing, they finally tore/split.:banghead:

A little KY jelly inside foam grips slides over end caps easy on Spyder.

Riding in the rain...

Question ...what about when it rains ..do they soak up water a lot..i would think if riding down the road it would kinda soggy to hold those grips when they r full of water..

I've ridden quite a bit in the rain and have never noticed soggy grips. If they do soak up water, just squeeze the grips and that'll wring them out.

grip

There is a slip on grip (called Grab on Grips) I bought on Amazon that works great. I don't have heated grips, but the instructions say it will work with heated grips too. Installation is simple - you just coat inside with hairspray and slip them on. Makes grips larger and cuts out vibration. Cheap too (about $10 delivered).

I had the same problem small grip large hands. I put on the grab grip but it was very comfortable but still to smal so I wraped tennis racket grip tape on top of the of that and the size is perfect
