Would these grips be good for someone with Arthritis?

Only "magnum" size for '08 Touring and up? What about if you have the stock heated grips on the Limited? Do they fit?

I love mine! I have big hands and got the magnums. The contoured shape makes them fit my hand perfectly. I've got lots of miles on them and no hand issues like I had with the stock grips. They aren't squishy rubber, but they are rubber. As far as I am concerned that is better. You don't have to squeeze them hard and compress soft rubber to have a good grip. The hashmark pattern keeps them from slipping at all. I do always wear gloves.

Love the way they look but don't like they way they feel without gloves. A buddy of mine has a set and loves them, but he always wears gloves. May want to check out the Avon grips as well. Look similar but feel a little better to me. Good luck.

Maybe hard rubber, plastic probably isn't right. The stock grips on this bike, and the ISO grips I had on my other bike were soft. But with this pattern on these, I'm sure they'll be OK. I'll report back once I get them on.

I never ride without gloves so I don't think that'll be an issue.
