Looking for advice. I would like a thicker grip, to get a little more leverage on the throttle spring. I have a some tendonitis in my right elbow, also, which starts to shout at me after a little while. I have already paid for the Buell heated grips, so don't feel that replacing the grip itself is an option for me. Does anybody know of another solution, as in a sleeve of some type that would slide over the existing grips? Jack |

This is about all I found, not sure if they are big enough. http://www.premiercycleaccessories.com/Grip_Covers _p/13005.htm |

The Buell Traction Grips are considerably thicker and should do the trick. I used them on my XB9S and really liked them. http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/Produc t.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=1&CategoryID=7&Produ ctID=1288 |

My friend uses tennis racket grip tape on his grips to fit his bear paws he call's hands. He swears by it & has done it on the past 3 bikes he's had. Seems like it is a cheap/easy/"customizable" solution to me. |

The traction grips would be my first choice, but for the fact I already have the heated grips. The grip covers and grip puppies look like what I was thinking about, but will look at racket tape also. Thanks, guys! Jack |

I ordered the grip puppies from CST, but also brought my throttle rocker out of retirement. I won't use this thing in a sporting situation, but it is really helping my soreness in local riding. Jack |
