    Grab On makes a thin foam grip cover called Grip Puppies that slips over your regular grips.
    I have used them for a couple of years and I do think they help.
    $10 or $12 here so they don't break the bank if you don't like them. Easy on, easy off

    Hey CharlesW,

    Fitted the Grip Puppies over the existing grips, easy to fit (and reversible mod) . . . went for 3 hour ride. Hands/wrists were definitely more relaxed at the end.
    Thanks for the tip..recommended!!

    Cheers,

    Geoff

    He is actually spot on. Well overstated by .4 F. Or did I miss something here due to old age slowness.

    Glad they helped.
    They may not be for everybody, but they do seem to work for me.

    Hey Outboard John,

    As by my name AussieGeoff, I am from the land downunder. And it is Summer here!
    Actually, the other day, Jan 18th, records were broken in the heatwave.
    Many parts of the city recorded over 46 Celsius. . . or over 114.8 Fahrenheit in your language!
    Hot enough?? LOL

    No wonder we drink so much beer!! ;-)

    My bad Geoff, didn't pay attention to the "not Beverly Hills, Ca." You know I don't mind the 114f (46c) if i'm at the colorado river with a cold frosty one, but that's toasty ridin the VFR!
