Aftermarket handlebar grips, any recommendations ?

I've just fitted another pair of Renthal grips. Hard compound this time. Missus face - when I asked to use her hairspray...

I fit grip puppies to every bike I have. Fit over the existing grip and add a lot of comfort. Add some girth to the grip and reduce pressure on the palm. Oh errr

Pussygrips on mine. Sound exact same as grip puppies. Much prefer the name for mine. 😀

Another one here who uses PussyGrips. Very good for me. I have used them on earlier bikes because the standard grips are just a little small in diameter.

I don't know exactly, maybe big hands but it feels good and palms rest easily on the foam, and fingers are relaxed when reaching/using the levers.

Oxford fat grips, much less pressure on the palm. :cheers:

I had some pussygrips on mine too. Took them off the blue, (still on the black) just didn't feel quite right, a bit fat.  Could be the gloves adding to the feel as well I guess.

Hey just for a laugh, google pussygrips.  I did, trying to find where to get them from. Bet you'll get some interesting results as I did.

Puppy grips over Oxford heated grips work fine. Makes the handle bar grip rather fat but much better for wrist and fingers.
Doesn't worry or overheat the Oxford grips. Have the same on my Vstrom with no problems.

Thankyou for your replys, i have recently removed heated grips from my gsx 1400, in  many pieces in the bin, managed not to damage the throttle tube, but the raised edge on the end as been removed by whoever  fitted the heated grips, standard type grips are a option and the puppy grips  seem good idea. :cheers:

Thanks for the advice Col. The first site that came up dont sell them.  Shall have another look at that site this evening just to make sure  :onya:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

I need something precisely like that.

I have renthal bars, and get sore palms when resting them against the grips for a length of time.
Thicker and softer grips would be worth a try.

So what are the options?
Pussygrips. (price?)
Oxford fat grips?
grip puppies?
renthal grips?

The grips I got came from Hkg, only a few $ all up. Fit easy and are fatter n softer to hold.
Think it was Ebay.

I've had the pussy grip style (foam sleeve) on for 2 years now & they are great.
Got mine from the local mca store for $10, which was their Emgo brand from memory.
