Grip Puppies Handle Bar Covers.
Since owning my Vstrom and with it being a V-Twin it’s has that lovely low down torque but with it is the natural vibration, and with using my amazing Oxford Products Ltd Heated grips on it i always added some thick foam grips on top which have worked great….
Now with the Mrs now having a Twin too (Honda CB500X) she noticed that Vibe too which did annoy her, so i recommended moving to the Grip Puppies original ones as they are more well made compared to my cheap £2.99 foam grips which were fat.
Now she has been using them for a while and all been good for her, and with my bike going in for it’s face lift last week i needed to pinch the mrs bike and trying the proper puppies really made a difference i found in comfort and thickness over my cheap one, so i decided i should also upgrade mine.
Well since having them installed i can say i am so impressed how much better these are over cheap foam ones, they are more thicker and rubbery so they work so much better and give less squish over the foam style ones. The vibration side is so much less using the grip puppies and they just feel so much more comfy compared to the older ones. They are a must have i will say, and even with heated grips they work fine and the heat still comes through with no issues, just takes a few moments more to heat up that’s all.
To fit you simply wet inside with some soapy water and slide on – takes all of 2 minutes start to finish and mine do not slip at all once fitted.
Bought mine from Amazon for £14, and will say worth every penny and come with a 5 year warranty :O
