Thicker Than Normal Handle Bar Grips

**GR81** · 20th April 2006, 12:25

I have large hands and find the handle bar grips are too thin really.
does anyone out there sell thicker than normal handle bar grips?

thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Fit heated hand grips. That will add another 2mm or so to the radius and then you get the added bonus of warn digits in winter

. They work a treat.

get some Pro-Grip ATV Gel grips.. pop them in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes and slip them over the stock grips..

eep! either to big or two small handle grips can suck mine were wrong size and it would strech my palm if i wore gloves.Dang it hurt.
Would go for daytona or even heated hand grips like someone said i had them on my zzr and they were awesome in cold weather and are thicker then normal.
