The Original Grip Puppy Comfort Grips

Perfect fit on 2019 goldwing. Much more comfortable . Easy to install using dish detergent and zip lock bag

Every adventure bike I've ridden has the same problem - the grips are dirt bike sized. I'm sure that's fine for most people, but for me that's too small, my hands cramp badly just holding grips that small for any length of time. These Grip Puppies worked wonders, enlarging the size of the grips to something much more comfortable. They're soft which helps as well. I was worried about insulating the heated grips and rendering them useless, but the heat transfers through very well. For installation, soapy water or glass cleaner works well, but if you have an air compressor that works even better, shooting some air between these and the grips allowed them to slide right on. They were longer than the grips so I had to cut them short, and I did not measure the left side correctly so it's a little short but still usable. Once these wear out, as I expect they will, I'll be getting another set and hopefully measure better.

Great upgrade for $20. My stock scooter grips were crappy, soft gloves could grip them but my more protective hard leather gloves didn't grip well, causing hand fatigue on a half-hour commute. The texture of the grip puppies makes a huge difference, now I can simply roll my palm on the throttle for effortless control, without needing to squeeze with my fingers. The larger diameter is an improvement as well, for comfort and control. One thing to note: you may need to trim them to make sure you're not getting accidental cruise control. The puppies are just slightly longer than my throttle handle, so it was gripping the knob at the end of my bar and holding the throttle open. Had to take off a quarter inch, but even with that, install took only a few minutes. Couple drops of water-based lubricant and they slid right on. 5/5 product

I’ve used both the genuine Grip Puppies and some cheaper alternatives. The difference is considerable, at least when new. The Grip Puppies are slightly thicker and a bit stiffer, but counterintuitively that actually makes them more effective. The material absorbs vibrations really well. The ends have a nice rounded finish. Despite their high price, they do deteriorate with use, which may also be affected by the material and texture of your gloves. I can get maybe a year out of a pair of these. However, I still think the benefits are worth the cost. I just consider them a consumable, like engine oil. Pro tip: Use hand sanitizer to help slide them over your grips. It dries quickly and has a bit of tackiness that keeps them in place.

I tend to dislike grips that are too small in diameter and grip them too hard. Adding Grip Puppies makes a big difference in comfort on a long ride. While the Amazon post says this size is recommended "except for Harley-Davidson... etc." the grips on my 2022 Street Glide FLHX measured 1.42" at the midpoint by calipers. There's a ridge at the outboard end of the grips that's larger than that but it's not a problem. I don't use hair spray, oil, water or anything like that to install these; an air compressor with a narrow nozzle is what I use. Get the end of the Grip Puppy over the ridge at the end of the grip, insert the air nozzle in the open end, pinch the end shut around it and shoot a little air into the space. The air acts as an air cushion, floating the Grip Puppy. Be prepared to push the Grip Puppy onto the grip when you start the airflow. Once you get it onto the grip to the point that pinching the open end shut isn't possible, run the nozzle tip around the edge of the end of the bike's grip and continue to push the Grip Puppy on. In my case, the Grip Puppy is about 1/4" longer than the bike's grip but I didn't trim it, just let it contract around the ridge at the end of the grip and called it good. On the throttle side, be sure your throttle has free movement to snap back to the closed position. I had to back off the Grip Puppy on that side slightly to ensure clearance. The Grip Puppies give me a larger diameter grip with a little resilience that's outstanding on long rides. Make sure you measure your grip diameter, check it against the allowable dimensions. I have Grip Puppies on my Can-AM F3 also. They tend to hold up for several years, even with the hot Nevada summers. Well worth the cost for extra comfort.

These grip work very well, easy to install, comfortable, cuts down vibration and is good for arthritis in the hands. Just a little soap on the inside and slip them over your old grips, couldn’t get much easier than that. I had to cut down the throttle side though. Just slip a socket inside the grip to where you want to cut it and use a razor blade and cut right next to the socket and you’ll have a nice clean straight cut

These things are great. The increase in grip diameter relieves hand strain, and the foam is the perfect stiffness for comfort. They also prevent your hands from slipping when the rains come. These stay stationary on the grips while riding whether it rains or shines. Just a little Dawn soap and some water is all it takes to install them. (I cut mine to the perfect length before sliding them on) My concern was the impact they would have on heated grips, but they pass heat through just fine. They may slow down the heat transfer rate some, but they will still let your hands get quite toasty if your grips have the power to get hot. For this price, if you're not happy with them cut them off and throw them out, but once you try them I'll bet you leave them on.

I'm a new motorcyclist that started riding in April 2024. Never ridden before, except as a teenage boy, my cousin let me ride his automatic cruiser mustve been 50cc, probably and most likely less lol. And also once in Puerto Vallarta, smaller ATVs for a few miles, never shifted haha. Anyways. My right hand was constantly becoming numb and falling asleep. I ride a 24' ninja500 and after doing research I learned that vibrations are even worse on older motorcycles. So a lot of it is not being used to the vibrations. After applying the grip puppy, I noticed a significant difference in the numbing/tingling/falling asleep sensation in the hand. BUT, now my wrist was hurting, actual pain, not numbness. I started focusing more on relaxation and not gripping the handle bar so tight. In the beginning it's hard not to, you feel you have to hold on for dear life, and if you don't kung fu grip it, you might as well jump off. Well, that's how it felt for me in the beginning. Fun yet terrifying at the same time. But don't be so tense. Relax your upper body/arms and the rest of your body really. Grip/hold on to the tank with your legs/knees. Because riding a motorcycle is a new skill that requires learning new concepts, you're going to be tense in the beginning. As you practice, you'll gain more confidence, you'll become more relaxed on the bike. Overall grip puppy helped with my right hand falling asleep. Reduced vibrations. Easy to install, follow instructions.
