Altrnative to grip replacement.

As many of you have stated, the grips on the CB provide no cushion at all to the palm and wrist, but I simply did not want to replace the grips. I found a very neat alternative in the July issue of RIDER. They are called "Original Grip Buddies Super Sharkskin Neoprene Grip" wraps.

These simply wrap around your existing grip and provide several advantages. They are easily removed restoring the bike to stock configuration. They increase the circumference of the grip giving the operator a better mechanical advantage on the throttle, and they provide a soft cushion to isolate vibration and road shock from the palm and wrist. If you install heated grips, which is what these were developed for, the heat will easily pass through the wrap to your hands.

Honest, I don't work for these guys, these are my own thoughts as I installed them this morning. Now I can wear my summer riding gloves without fear of carpal tunnel syndrome. Very easy, whole thing takes about 5 minutes. Just type in "grip buddies" in Google. Order for ST-1300 to fit the CB1100. Here is a picture of mine.
