Default Hand Grip Suggestions

I currently use ISO grips. I have developed trigger finger and arthritis in both my hands. My doctor suggests installing the largest diameter grips I can find. Anyone out there havesuggestions pertaining to hand grips?

Not sure on DIameter ones; however, I do know you may want to opt for some heated ones My fathers cure for aching knuckles...is to take a long ride with those heated grips

Not sure who makes them,but the ergo grips might be the ticket. they are not bigger around but they have an enlarged flat spot on them.
If you don't have one I recomend a cramp buster for the throttle hand.

If you have a large "hand grip" how will you be able to grasp the front brake with four fingers?

try a throttle rocker too. It's a Kuri part, should work well with your Iso's. ANd, lots cheaper than new grips. You could try those levers that have a trigger on them. Supposed to give you more grip in the lever. My Boss Blades kick out a little, more leverage, and have a wider blade.

Thanks for all the suggestions. It's not about grip, heat, and etc., it's about keeping the fingers as open as possible so the trigger finger and arthritis doesn't get so bad I can't ride.

I have the SAC grips. I highly recommend them. They are larger and padded. You can get them to match your bike color and they have many styles and engraved patterns. Very comfortable and not everyone has them. Price was about half of what I paid for my HD chrome grips. The chrome on my HD grips failed in 5 months. I like the leather feel and they do not make your hands sweat.
