Default Red grip covers.

I have put grip buddies on all my bikes. Found a generic brand in red. What do you guys think?

Looks like it match’s the seat stitch well , reminds me of Grab on Grips from my BMX days.

Why does it mater what people think? If you're happy, that's all that matters!

I prefer a thinner grip. Those would drive me crazy, but to each their own. Nice splash of red.

I am the opposite Zach. I have long fingers, I also have nerve damage in my hands and thick grips feel better.

I think I will go with these grips to dampen the vibrations, because there are a lot on this 117 High Output...

I just ordered 2 pair of the memory foam grips from Walmart.com. If one wears out quickly I'll have a backup until I can order something better quality. Too hard to tell one from another from internet photos.
I was leaning heavily toward Harley Kahuna grips. But my bike has heated grips. I couldn't see paying $340 for a set. Sure, I'll likely never use the heated grips and could have put regular Kahuna on it. But the bike came with the function so I want it to be available. You never know.

You have a lot of vibration in your grips, something going on there? 107 FXLR here with a torque cam, notice O vibration.
