I need to replace the grip puppies on my bike, the left has a rip in it.

WAY back when I purchased these they came in different sizes but I can't remember which size the C14 takes. That point may be moot as they seem to only have one size now? Does anyone have any info on this?

Amazon is selling them now but as I said, it seems that only one size is available.

In case anyone is interested. I purchased the above Puppies from Amazon and put them on yesterday. A perfect fit and using my air compressor installation was a breeze.

Cruelty to animals, Conrad.  Never thought you would do that.   Those poor puppies. :'(

Never thought I would hear our own Conrad mention "air compressor" and "puppy" together.

I have some other interesting word combinations, would you care to hear (read) them?    ;)

I don't have heated grips so that doesn't apply. I do have large hands so I've installed not only the Grip Puppies but then wrapped them with grip wrap used for a tennis or racketball racket handle.

I've been thinking about trying the grip wrap. Always had to do it to baseball bats so why not wrap a handlebar/throttle grip?

Has anyone else tried grip wrap? Pros & Cons maybe?

Why not try racquet ball grip tape over the original grips? Way cheaper and easily removed if not comfortable.
