Fatter Grips

[mikeboileau]

You can get them at Bike Bandit, but it's spelled Johar and they are super thick and cushy.

I used to use those on my CB 1100F.  Bought them for my REX, but used the 714s instead.

I have heard of a couple folks using these grips:

I'm one of the folks he's referring to - love mine, work like a champ and look great. Had grip puppies on the last bike, and had good luck with them, but the ISO's are the ones to beat in my book.

Grab-On Grip Covers. Simple, cheap, work well, made in USA, works with heated grips, been around since the Ice Ages.

I am installing the grips from Murphs and the grip heaters.  The grip heater instructions call for a thin coat of adhesive between the heater and the grip.  Is this necessary? 

Thanks,

Grip Puppies go on pretty easy if you have an air compressor with a narrow tube gun that will fit under the GPs.  You have to soak them in VERY soapy water ... get them really wet.  Then as you slide them on, just use the air compressor to inflate them a bit and they go on very quickly.  Use dish detergent.

If you don't have an air compressor, just soak the crap out of them in VERY soapy water.  They will slide on with some twisting over the stock grips. 

I've done both on several bikes .... both work.  You can trim the GPs after you get them on with a razor knife, or blade.

You'll find them a bit 'twisty' for a couple days until the soap/water dries up.  It all turns out fine.

GPs are cheap, EZ on (above notes),

I doubt they would put it in the instructions if they didn't think it was necessary. 

The heater elements are easily damaged, so the adhesive probably acts as lubricant during the install.  The main reason would be to hold the elements and grips together as one, so there's no chance of them rotating easily if you grab them and twist.

I put a set of Murphs Grips over the stock 2010 grips, after cutting the ends off of them.
