I am just trying to get some info from the experts. I have just bought an 06X, and am looking for some thicker hand grips. I just traded in the HD which had some pretty fat grips that were quite comfortable. I have some pretty big mitts, and the stock grips just aren't as comfortable as I would like. | ||

I'm a fan of the Buell Traction Grips. They're a little thicker in the middle than stock. http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/17081.html | ||

Grip Puppies over the stockers. They're the bomb. | ||

I have these gel grips on mine... I like them better than stock for sure. http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/5662.html edit: (I installed a heated Grip elements with them) (Message edited by xb12xmike on January 20, 2010) | ||

Will any of these work with heated grips? | ||

I have had these on the last four bikes. Great for vibrating twins, ad a bar snake and you're set.  I use heated gloves. | ||

I use the ribbed ones from BMW, as found on the original F650GS. ork well with Poly heaters. | ||

+1 on the traction grips. I have them on all 3 of my Buells. | ||

+ 2 on the grip puppies "California Sport Touring, Inc." casporttouring.com  | ||

Grip puppies - will they work on top of the factory XT heated grips? I have traction grips on my X1 and love them. If I could find something like that without messing up the factory XT grips, that would be great. | ||

I currently have the traction grips with the polaris heating under them, also i can recomend OURY as top class grips, i've used oury on my bikes and on the buell also. | ||

I like these thick gel grips that American Sport Bike sells: http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/5662.html Similar shape to the Buell Traction grips, but made of "cushier" material. | ||

"Grip puppies - will they work on top of the factory XT heated grips?" Yep. They work fine. I didn't see much to any difference with the heated grips. | ||

Another vote for Buell Traction Grips. After 70,000+ miles on the Uly(s) they're the best I've used. --Doc | ||

Beemer R1100-1150 grips for me, they've worn really well for over 60K:  | ||

I liked the Buell traction grips on my 9sx, but they wear out pretty quick. I got grips when I was restoring a 95 KDX-200, and *really* like them. They will be the next set of grips for my Buell when I wear out the traction grips on there now. Hey! I think those are the same thing Al is carrying... so count that as two votes for those grips... http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/5662.html (Message edited by reepicheep on January 21, 2010) | ||

+1 on the BMW grips that xbimmer uses!!! I find them good too. | ||

I got a set of the Buell Traction grips to put on. Will I still be able to wrap them with bacon with the Poly Heaters on high, so that I can have a sammich at the end of a 30 mile ride?  | ||

Tennis racket grip tape from WallyWorld. Works great for making the grips the diameter you want, it's cheap...and you can get it in *colors*!  | ||

The ones xbimmer showes are the ones I was talking about (BMW-F650GS) so +2 | ||

Got the grip puppies in the mail yesterday. Easy to put on, had to trim about a 1/4" off for fit. Heated grips still work fine, now my grips are nice and mushy. This site rocks. |
