dewski Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I am finding that the diameter of stock grips to be too small and causing my thumb joints to get sore after a longish ride. I do not have this problem on my cruiser (RoadStar) that has a larger diameter grip. Anyone have good replacements that they have used and can we put on a fatter grip on the stock handlebar? Link me to some options. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rowdy Posted May 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've used Grip Puppies on most of my bikes. They are cheap, don't require stock grip removal, they work, are comfortable, and durable. If they do wear out, cut them off and throw on another pair (use lots of HOT soapy water to get them on). Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewski Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Do you have them on your FZ? We need to hook up with the other Utah FZ riders then I could check them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rowdy Posted May 4, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted May 4, 2015 Yea they're on my FZ. One of the first things I did. It would be nice to get all of us together and go ride Wolf Creek Pass or something. (Not sure if it's open yet). [edit] I just checked and it is open. Okay... my mouth is watering... mmmm yummy road... Why can't left turners see us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewski Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I live right at the mouth of Provo Canyon so I am game anytime for a Wolf Creek ride! Such a fun and beautiful road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marthy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Look at the ProGrip 714. They're a bit bigger in diameter and damp vibration really good. Use them on my FZ6R & FZ09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotaryryan24 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I came from a dirt background, so I went with Scott's duel compound grips.I'm not sure if they are any bigger around but I find them much more comfortable. Once they warm up your palms almost stick like glue to the grips, just my 2 cents.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0065WU7E6/ref=mp_s_a_1_29?qid=1430787398&sr=8-29&pi=AC_SX200_QL40&keywords=scott+handlebar+grips&dpPl=1&dpID=51TUolpEZ4L&ref=plSrch They do wear out faster than most grips, I was getting about 4 to 5 thousand miles out of a set.

dewski Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Great options...thanks guys! Will keep looking and replace here soon since the stock grips just keep giving my thumb joints pain on longer rides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwpowere36m3 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 On my dirt bike I love Protaper pillow top grips, but on my road bike I have a set of ProGrip 724 dual compound grips. I think only the Protaper's are of a larger diameter, but I wouldn't want to use them on my street bike. I know some guys love those foamy grips... http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/37787/i/bikemaster-foam-grips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
