Thicker grips?
Hey guys, was wondering when i was out on Sunday if anyone has any suggestions to improve the comfort of my sv650s handlebar grips. I find them very thin and hard so after a while i get uncomfortable.
 Basically i have big hands and would prefer them to be thicker and if possible softer. Have considered heated grips etc. but im not too sure what to do. help oh mighty .org

go 2 a local motorbike dealer/shop and look around for somethicker grips but the orignal suzuki ones are already thicker/softer than alot of aftermarket ones you get but im sure you will get softer ones.

Re: Thicker grips?
Had a look in the dealer next door, has plenty of grips but nothing much different. Are heated grips thicker?

Re: Thicker grips?
Might be worth getting an R6 throttle tube at the same time...
