Skinnier grips

I noticed today that HD sells slightly slimmer grips. I think they're aimed at women but although my hands are quite big I must have stumpy fingers as I find the reach to the levers and switches a bit far. The grips are only about 0.15" slimmer but that adds up to about 1/2" shorter circumference which should make a real difference. Does anybody else have my stumpy finger problem and have you tried these grips?

RE: Skinnier grips

i have the smallest grip dia that HD offers. i dont have girl hands but more like the feel as there closer to my dirtbikes grips in the dia. i personally love them, sum of the grips are way to fat and feel liek your holding a 20oz bottle of soda not the handlebars!!! lol [8D]

I think I'm going to try a pair. A cheap mistake if I don't like 'em.

I almost went with the ones in the post above, but I got the fattest ones harley sells. Can't remember model #, but man do they feel great!

I had kuryakyns on my last bike. They were great but the rubber smell (not good like tire smoke smell) wouldn't wash off your hands for awhile. I got these from dealer. so far I like them
