    I'm a big girly crybaby and am looking to swap-out the OEM comfortless rubber grips with something to help ease pain of palm.

    Progrips get good reviews. Any other suggestions?

    Cheers ;)

    I can vouch for grip puppy - had them on my T100 and Trident (not that either bike was "vibey" - I just liked the feel!

    Just installed a pair of puppies on my Speed Triple last night, first ride this morning.
    My first thoughts as I got on was that my bike feels bigger! then I remembered I had put the puppies on and gave them a good squeeze.
    Nice and soft, yet firmly attached, after 10 min I had got used to them and was very happy. I wasn't suffering any aches or pains but when going slow in London traffic the more solid handles were a bit of an issue, with these fitted it is so much better. So 10/10 from me

    Fitting was easy, a quick measure up and then cut to length using a Stanley, a quick squirt of Window cleaner on the inside and I could squeeze, rub and twist them into place - took 15 mins tops

    Tried the puppies but my small paws couldn't get used to the increased diameter. They're now on my dumbbells! I tried the Progrips but the throttle grip was too small a diameter so they went back.

    Any other suggestions would be appreciated :)

    Pity about that had them on my 1100RT and they were great, just ordered two sets for the trophy's.
    The larger diameter is great with the sore joints

    Yeah, it's a bummer as they're really comfy apart from that :(

    Reviving this thread as I think the Grip Puppies are worth it.
    Having recently moved them from my standard grips to the Oxford heated grips I remembered what a difference they made
    Wrist and finger aches gone and no vibration

    Buy a couple of these & give them a go, v cheap, adjustable to any position. Rest heel of palm onto lever, takes pressure off palms. Works for me. Cramp busters

    Grip puppies are ok but, being foam, when it rains they retain the water. Try out Grip Buddies. They fit any size std Grip + they are neoprene and do not absorb water.
