Thanks for the info!! And those levers look really nice! I like those OURY's. I forgot about those, I had exactly those on my old KTM 500 dirtbike when I was a kid. They were really comfortable.

I road about 85 miles on the super slap today and my hands started cramping up. I dont know why. 750 grips are very small in diameter and I am wondering if larger diameter grips would help? I am getting old and all sorts of stuff starts locking up on me but I am wondering if larger grips could help? I have a throttle rocker which helps but it does not help enough. Would larger grips help? I realize this is A WIild card type question but any replies appreciated.

I just ordered the OURY Road grips for $13 on amazon... I'll let everyone know how they work out. Thanks!

I think so! My VTX had large diameter leather grips and they NEVER hurt me. 200 mile rides and my butt and back were hurtin' but my hands were good. I think the CB1100 is harder on the hands since I'm resting my weight on the handle bars vs. just sitting and holding the bars. I have been shifting forward on the seat and sitting up more. That seems to help a lot, but when I'm slabbing it into a headwind at 70mph, I have to lean forward...
Windscreen is supposed to be here Tuesday.

I prefer the BMW Sport Grips, $10 each; part# 32721458395 & 32721458396
BMW on the left, CB1100 on the right.

Has anyone installed the Honda heated grips? I had those on most of my BMW's and really like them.

Here in So Cal (where it's 103 degrees today) we don't need no stinkin' heated grips.

I tried grip puppies for a few days and just took them off.
The grips felt too big with them on, although softer so my hands did not hurt at the lower thumb junction like they do on the stock hard grips.
I have medium, size hands and glove size.
Guess I'll look at other suggestions in this post for softer grips but same diameter.
