Installed Grab On Grips

[Oldscoot]

I installed a pair of Grab On grips. They simply slip over the current grip and add extra width and cushioning which leads to less hand fatigue.

We/I need more.

This is very strange. During winter I use removable velcro Oxford heated handgrips, wrapped over existing ones.
I cannot wait to remove them in the summer because they feel awkward and tiring to the hands.
Also, it is very difficult to have good feeling on the brakes and to twist the gas throttle fully.

I can imagine they can be helpful to somebody who has very large palms (I weigh 250 lbs, 5 ft 11 but have unusually small hands).

As with every individual - what works for someone might not work for another.  The smaller the grip the tighter the hand wraps around it - and that can lead in some cases (e.g. me) to cramping.  I tend to not hold the grip tightly unless I am in a situation where that hold is better and I tend to hold the grip in a more relaxed fashion. Thus, in my case the larger foam grip is suitable for that type of riding. If you have a small hand then the original grips are probably better for you.   

It is interesting to note that Harleys in all models have standard grips that are larger than metric motorcycles.

Right Oldscoot.  I never saw the need for these when I was younger.  Now approaching old age I get those cramps occasionally and they make it difficult to open the hand.  That's not good when you need to grab brakes!   I'll probably have to look into these someday.

... and not only Harleys.

Some bikes have diameter of 22 mm, the others 25.4 mm (Harleys )....
