Had a search on Ebay for pussy grips, you may or may not be surprised at the results!  :jack: :rofl2:  There were 2 relevant entries though, both from Aussie, cost landed is about $30nzd.  I'll do a better search after work

These are the best grips you can get, work with heated or non-heated grips and are absolutely superb. Have a set fitted to my Explorer

Don't deny they are good - in the UK they call them Grip Puppies and I had a set on my 14 - did great for helping with vibration through the bars. Had them originally on my Explorer and whilst they kind of worked with the heated grips, they did rather suck up the heat before getting through to the gloves etc. Plus after 4k miles they were a bit worn out (and I found they absorbed water). None too good for a UK climate Adventure bike!

Hence why I looked at for something a bit better that would last a bit longer in UK climes. But I take nothing away from Grip Puppies, for the money they are very good and excellent value

Thanks Barmy, will keep them in mind. Scotchgard stopped the water. They do get a bit slippery, throttle rocker always on so no concern. Throttle was a pain with same on Ducati, those bloody Dellortos very hard to open up.

They sell smartskin grips for the bandit - are they same size bar as the 14?  :)
The older I get the better I was
The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Hooli

Yes.


As a general rule all jap bikes are 7/8" bars and HDs are 1".
