Can anyone recommend some riding gloves that have a tacky palm/inside finger surface? I'd like to reduce how much I have to squeeze the throttle grip and still feel in control. This is on stock H-D grips. Sub-$50 if possible, this will probably be a gift from someone.

 

Try some gloves made for raquet ball, tennis or, for batting in baseball.

 

Don't wear gloves when you ride. The oils in your skin along with the dirt in the air will saturate the grips after a while and get them tackier than hell!

 

Dang that is the truth, my grips get sticky and gross as **** in six months if I don't wipe them with alcohol wipes after every ride.

 

I wear a pair of thin deerskin gloves that work very well. Got mine from the Redwing boot company.

 

You asked....

 

Throttle Rocker. Works great.

I went shopping for new gloves, and ended up leaving with a new RK that has cruise control...

 

The rubber Kury Throttle Boss is what you want.

And Harken Black Magic sailing gloves have an amazingly grippy grip. They come in 3/4 (what most use) and full fingered. And are essential for racing sailboats, where you have to handle a lot of line, often under tremendous loads, and in an efficient manner (fast!). They really provide you with super human pulling power. But get the Throttle Boss.

 

I like my Fox racing mountain biking gloves. Inside palms are soft leather which grips well, fingers are vented so your hands don't sweat and the thumb/little bit of the top of the hand is covered with microfiber for wiping away sweat on your face or cleaning your glasses off without scratching them. Obviously when the temps are low I go to a regular leather glove or something insulated.
