I'm wanting to get a set of these for my long upcoming venture. Anyone know of a place to buy them here in the states? I found a place in clai, but they appear to be packaged differently and advertised for $9.95. I'm worried they may be a knock off.

Thanks

I would advise Beemer Buddies.
THey are better than Grip Puppies.

Plus they have a new more durable covering that I would love to try.

How well do the heated grips work with these?

No problem, whatsoever.

Thanks for the tips guys. I ended up going with the grip buddies. Thanks Pepsi! Looks like a better made product and very easy install, (no soap needed).

Thanks again for the help.

I bought a set of these and took them off after the first ride. I hated them. In fact, if anyone wants them, they can have them. Not sure how well the adhesive is going to stick after sitting in my garage parts box, but anyone is welcome to try them. I went back to my Grip Puppies and never looked back.

I had a pair of the Beemer Buddies and after a few months they began to fray, but at that cost and every day use I guess I got what I paid for. The customer service was great though. At the cost though I would probably buy two sets of grip puppies. The heat goes through both sets fine and about the same levels.

I ordered a couple of sets but didn't see "free shipping" being offered!

MrPepsi · « **Reply #11 on:** June 26, 2012, 09:07:56 PM »

The free shipping started recently.

Their shipping rates are ridiculous on the express end. They must hate to expedite so they have some additional profit built in. Not that this is a bad thing.... just noticed it.

most bmw shops has soft grips just like the grip puppies for about 11.00. I have been getting the puppies for years frm casporttouring with free ground shipping. they ship fast as well.

kawacop1642 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 27, 2012, 07:06:02 AM »

Well I already ordered the grip buddies w/free shipping. Yes they were a little more in cost than the puppies, but hopefully will last longer. Less then 2 mins. after placing my order I received a call from a company rep who told me these are the new and improved ones and shipped them the same day. He also went on to tell me about the product materials and constuction. That speaks volumes for me as far as customer service goes.
So I'll give them a try on my month or so trip and let you guys know how they hold up.

you will be hard pressed to find beetter service than the guy who owns beemer buddies.

Necron99 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 27, 2012, 02:48:56 PM »

Do the grip puppies go OVER the existing grip or replace it?

MrPepsi · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2012, 02:50:59 PM »

Both Grip Puppies and Beemer Buddies go OVER the grips.

I ordered the same date as my post!

I'm sorry then it could be that he lowered the price of the items, but made shipping seperate. I had thought it was the other way around. He used to offer free shipping, but the price was higher.
