Yeah, so I've got small *** hands... I recently took the stockers off my SGS and put on a set of Kuryakyns. I never have been a real fan of Kuryakyn and I'm not all that impressed with these grips either. They seem fatter and therefore less comfortable to me. But I know the stock grips will get raggedy soon so I went ahead and changed them out. Now I'm thinking I'm not going to have them on for long. What I'd really like is a good quality set of grips that are designed for smaller hands. With reach seats, super reach and all that, I've gotta thing there's something out there like reduced diameter grips. Anyone know of such a thing?
I not only have small hands but I had wrist surgery earlier this year so I find that bigger grips put more of a strain on my wrist. I too have been on the search for something smaller in diameter. HD used to have many more choices for smaller diameter grips. But looking through the catalog I only found maybe 2 or 3.
Stock Harley grips are 1.5 inch, magnums are 1.6 inch. Use this information as a guide when you are shopping, and see what you can find in the 1.4 - 1.5 inch range.
FWIW i have small hands and always had smaller grips, but I just bought a bike that has fat grips and had to ride 400 miles home. I found that by just laying my fingers on the grips, lightly without a heavy pressure and not wrapping my whole hand around the grip it was quite comfortable. I even think this is the correct grip method for riding. If that helps.
