Best Handl Grips??

[Gimpdiggity]

What type of handle grips is everyone using on their GS??

Mine needs some new ones. The ones on it are in good shape, but I HATE they way they look and feel. So I'm looking for some opinions on some good ones for the bike.

I'm going to be using it primarily for longer highway riding, so the more comfortable the better!!!

Thanks!!!

It's pure personal preference, but I and many others like the Sunline Grand Touring grips for pure long-distance comfort. They are fat in the middle and damp vibration very nicely. However, you do need larger hands -- glove size XL and above.

In the winter, I switch to Progrip gel grips so that more heat from my grip heaters gets through. The Sunline touring grips are pretty thick.

On my GS, I have Hot Grips in the Ergo II shape. In the summer, I add Grip Puppies. This makes them a little fatter and more comfy. They generally wear out sometime in September, right about when I start using the heat again.

http://hotgrips.com/ <== I do not really recommend Hot Grips -- Symtec grip heaters from CaSportTouring work better and are cheaper.

Here are a couple other grip options for Glove size L & under or if you prefer thinner grips. Both of these are the correct length to go right on the handlebars. They should both work fine with grip heaters although I am a heathen and do not have the grip heaters yet.

I'll second the Grand Touring Grips.

I'm a fan of the Oury Road Grips.

I personally like the Gel ones, I got mine at a local bike shop. They've got a nice feel to them and look really good. I get vibration dampening of the big foam ones without the girth.

Superbike Pro Gel grips, I put them on every street bike I own. They are smaller OD (for thsoe of us with less than XL gloves), very gummy and grippy and damp vibration very well. Cheap, too. Available at your local dealer for less than $15 or so.

I agree with the progel. They are smaller diameter, since i had mine they haven't worn yet. I replaced the stock ones with these
