Need Fatter Grips

[B166er_imp]

Something thicker and softer? Gigitty gigitty

Any advice? I have huge hands. OEM grips don't seem to work for me.

Put the Grip Buddies on to make them "fatter"

Grab On grip covers.

I put some of these on my CB11 a few months ago. My goal was comfort and reduced vibes. They also make the grips feel a lot fatter. Took me a few rides to get used to it.

They slip on over the stock grips in a few minutes.

I tried one set of neoprene wraps, which I didn't like (I just couldn't get used to the seam)...but the slip-on covers might solve this problem.
The wraps or covers seem to be the most popular way of doing this, as I have no doubt that replacing the throttle-side grip is a major PITA.

These grips just look right. I have them on my 79 CB 750K.

So how do you just slip them on? Heat them and stretch?

easy
cut the puppies to the correct length
place them in hot soapy water for 5 minutes
pour the hot soapy water on to your grips
slide the puppies on
easy

Yup. I liked the Grab Ons on my CB11 so much, I just installed a set on the CB750 about 1/2 hour ago. I just put some soapy water in a cup, went out to the garage and wet down the grips. Then I poured some into one end of the grip and shook it with my palms covering both ends. It took a few minutes of pulling and tugging and they slipped into place.

Now both bikes have the fat grip feel.

I use hairspray. Spray some inside the grips. Slips on easy, when dry, helps keep the grips from sliding.

I use the Grab On foam grip covers (grip condoms) on every bike, too. Can't ride without them for long.

Windex works well, too. Give 'em a good spray inside, which acts like a lube. It dries quickly, locking the grip cover in place, and with no nasty clean-ups afterward.
(I do the same thing on bicycles, which is actually where I originally got the idea. Works better than anything else I've tried.)
