Default Get a grip?

Ok, so i finally dropped the big coin on an untitled new 08' Ultra last yr.
Bought it in August...actually gets a little warm here in Michigan about then.

Within an hour I am noticing a sticky yet slimy/s;ippery layer between my hands and the cheap grips.
I suspect grips rank right up in the top first 5 things to change out on these bikes.
Mine were replaced with ISO's in a matter of days.

Just a bit of venting here: I can't believe for the coin we spend, they can't give us a decent grip on these scoots. Don't get me started on the chinzy shift rods!

In assless chaps hindsight, i suppose some fingerless glove would help but I can't stand wearing those anymore than i can stand slimy hand grips....
