I'm looking to upgrade to some better grips my hands start to hurt. I got some weighted bar ends on the way and would like to get some better grips any ideas????

the thick gel grips from american sport bike are awesome! i use them now that the traction grips are gone. and they are more comfy & help with the buzz big time

I have the factory heated grips and Throttlemeister bar ends (which also act as bar end weights). I just use gloves with additional padding. There ARE no replacement grips for me. ; )

Make sure you do not have a death grip on the bars, and make sure you are supporting your upper body with your core muscles. Most often hand and wrist pain is from resting too much weight on them.

It helps to have a big gut you can rest on, too...

well it sounds like you're getting tired of the vibration ( weighted bar ends and all) so seriously, the asb gel grips are sweet
