Fatter grips?
I just removed my heated grips and replaced them, temporarily, with a set of Renthal hard compound full diamonds. And I'm obviously too used to the slightly bulkier heated grips, because it feels horrible to me. They're about 5mm less across, and I'm ust finding it incredibly unsettling, it doesn't feel like my bike
So, rather than get used to them then have to get used to heated ones again come winter, I'm looking for good quality, fat aftermarket grips. First person to post a pic of some daft Harley accesory gets a slap. Any suggestions?

Hovis, one of them doesn't work right and they're pretty old and scabrous, so I've binned them for now, and I'll get a new set on for winter. I have Plans which would make traily wires less of an asset.

Re: Fatter grips?
I think a pair of "supergrips" made by Motrax might be what you need. DemonTweeks definitely do them but Busters likely to stock them as well(probably cheaper too).

Re: Fatter grips?
Do what I have done and get a different bike for the winter. No hassles with changing grips then.

Re: Fatter grips?
Grips that fit Harleys and the like tend to be chunkier, would look well........
