The Original Grip Puppy Comfort Grips

I tend to dislike grips that are too small in diameter and grip them too hard. Adding Grip Puppies makes a big difference in comfort on a long ride. While the Amazon post says this size is recommended "except for Harley-Davidson... etc." the grips on my 2022 Street Glide FLHX measured 1.42" at the midpoint by calipers. There's a ridge at the outboard end of the grips that's larger than that but it's not a problem. I don't use hair spray, oil, water or anything like that to install these; an air compressor with a narrow nozzle is what I use. Get the end of the Grip Puppy over the ridge at the end of the grip, insert the air nozzle in the open end, pinch the end shut around it and shoot a little air into the space. The air acts as an air cushion, floating the Grip Puppy. Be prepared to push the Grip Puppy onto the grip when you start the airflow. Once you get it onto the grip to the point that pinching the open end shut isn't possible, run the nozzle tip around the edge of the end of the bike's grip and continue to push the Grip Puppy on. In my case, the Grip Puppy is about 1/4" longer than the bike's grip but I didn't trim it, just let it contract around the ridge at the end of the grip and called it good. On the throttle side, be sure your throttle has free movement to snap back to the closed position. I had to back off the Grip Puppy on that side slightly to ensure clearance. The Grip Puppies give me a larger diameter grip with a little resilience that's outstanding on long rides. Make sure you measure your grip diameter, check it against the allowable dimensions. I have Grip Puppies on my Can-AM F3 also. They tend to hold up for several years, even with the hot Nevada summers. Well worth the cost for extra comfort.

Every adventure bike I've ridden has the same problem - the grips are dirt bike sized. I'm sure that's fine for most people, but for me that's too small, my hands cramp badly just holding grips that small for any length of time. These Grip Puppies worked wonders, enlarging the size of the grips to something much more comfortable. They're soft which helps as well. I was worried about insulating the heated grips and rendering them useless, but the heat transfers through very well. For installation, soapy water or glass cleaner works well, but if you have an air compressor that works even better, shooting some air between these and the grips allowed them to slide right on. They were longer than the grips so I had to cut them short, and I did not measure the left side correctly so it's a little short but still usable. Once these wear out, as I expect they will, I'll be getting another set and hopefully measure better.

I put these on a Suzuki DR650. They reduce the amount of vibration you feel in your hands. They're also easy to grip, and if you have big hands, they work well.

I got these for my 08 Suzuki Hayabusa. My reasoning was that when I rode I would get pressure and red sores on the lower side of my palms after more than 30 minutes of riding. This is obviously uncomfortable and takes the fun out of longer rides. I installed these by putting some soapy water inside the middle, didn't have to soak them, and slid them on after 5 minutes of work each side. Installation is no issue. The GOOD: So they do work, it took a good amount of pressure off my palms and I didn't get the sores anymore and did a 400 mile trip. The BAD:these make the handle bars very thick. I have medium sized hands and it eventually caused more strain on my wrists holding onto this bulky padding. The throttle does not feel as responsive and fine when it's this big hurking handle. IN THE END: I realized it is not because the handles are too hard that I was getting these sores. It was due to the angle of sitting that put all my bodies weight resting on the handle bars WHICH IS NOT HOW IT SHOULD WORK. So I took them off, I bought some Heli-bar risers which are a little pricy around 150. They raised the bars up by maybe 1/2-1 inch and towards me more by half an inch. This COMPLETELY fixed the issue. No longer pushing against my handlebars, no hard spots on my palms and a completely different riding experience. I've put another 2000 miles with the stock grips and the heli-bars and have absolutely no issues. I would also recommend getting a good seat like Corbin, Sargent, mustang or other. These usually will be lower than stock and take more pressure off your palms as well. If you're having issues and pain on your palms/wrists while riding I suggest you fix the actual problem instead of adding more padding. My riding experience is just as good with the heli bars and I didn't have to compromise.

The grips of my 09 1200GS were thin and this was the perfect grips to give them some body. Easy to install and also work well with thick gloves. The heat thru the heated grips feel a little less but is not bad. Overall works well and are very comfortable.

I used these on my 2020 Africa Twin. They work great. I did trim the throtle side a bit. But they feel great. Less vibration and my big hands feel so much better with these.

Have had these on several bikes now. Tried a cheaper brand which split on install. The Grip Puppies install easily. Soak handlebar and grip in soapy water, then rub the inside with liquid dish soap. Went on in under 1 minute following this process. My 2015 Triumph Tiger 800 stock grips had an OD of 1.25”.

Perfect fit on 2019 goldwing. Much more comfortable . Easy to install using dish detergent and zip lock bag

Very impressed with these comfort grips, easy to fit on my motorbike handle bars, should of got them years ago. Would definitely recommend.

Product is good but doesn’t fit for Himalayan 450

Terzo paio che acquisto per il mio GS con 70.000 km di utilizzo. Ottima presa, comodissime, elimina l'indolenzimento alle mani e non trasmette vibrazioni

Hay que tener en cuenta que aunque sea un producto excelente, aumenta el grosor del puño, por lo que hay que tenerlo en cuenta para las manos que sean pequeñas. Ojo!!!!!

Easy to fit and really improve the feel and grip. Heated grips still work fine. One of the cheaper accessories I've bought for my bike! Highly recommended.
