Default Gloves

Just bought a pair of the new HD Silencer grips, love the look, but when I wear my old leather gloves the grips are slick, can't hardly keep the throttle turned. Anyone know how to put some grip in a pair of gloves?

Resin bag, like the pitchers use in baseball?

This reminds me of that scene from "American Pie 2", where the guy used glue instead of lotion, and they had to call the EMTs.

Scuff them up... or, ditch the gloves

I meant scuff the gloves... You said they are old, so they are probably worn a lil on the smooth side. Try roughing them up a little, or get a new pair.

These are the same grips that I've been thinking about getting. I was worried about this same thing, as well as excessive vibration. Do you get that?

No they don't transmit vibration any worse than other grips
