If you have small hands you may not like them, better off getting new grips, the Grip Puppies make the grips much bigger around, I have average sized hands and they fit me well.

That is very true. I had them on my V-Strom on top of the heated grips, they were very comfortable, but borderline too thick for someone with medium sized hands like me.

I put them on my wife's Rebel, right over grip heaters wrapped on the stock grips. It helps eliminate some of the vibration. For $7-$8 a pair, can't go wrong.

I have an extra set of grip puppies for one inch bars, I got them thinking that they would fit, but never took them back. If anyone wants a set of one inch grip puppies, PM me. They will not fit stock 7/8 grips, though.

Haven't seen those but the grips were the first thing I changed out. The stock grips are hard as a rock so I went to a Pro-Grip padded type for a little extra comfort but not too big to make it hard to grasp.

What is the purpose of the grip puppies?  Is to too keep the vibration down?  If so, what have others done to reduce the handlebar buzz?  I get a good buzz (pun intended!) going from about 3500 RPM and up, with hands going a bit numb after an hour ride.   I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks Tim - I ordered a set from them and received them 2 days later.  I'll get them on this weekend for a test drive.

First post, not 25th.
Love 'em, just installed on VFR and ordered a set for the CB. Much more confortable, nothing bad to say so far.

It was one of the first things I did on the Bandit, cuz of how much I liked them on the Hawk.  At $9.00, it was a very good investment for comfort.  They do wonders for helping absorb vibration, and for general comfort.

First thing I ordered when I got my NH. They were back ordered for a couple of weeks so I pulled the set off my Burgman and put them on the NH.
