Do I Need a Bigger Grip?
On long rides my right hand gets sore and cramped. I switched to the HD Get a Grip and I have the same problem. I use to ride a metric that had a 1.25 inch bar, and my hand never got sore or cramped. Do I need a bigger grip and if so is there a grip that will simulate like I have a 1.25 bar?.

Have you tried the throttle rocker type palm rest thing-a-ma-bobs? You may be gripping your grips too tight and could rest your palms.

I had the Harley Get a Grip on mine and it would numb my hands very quickly. I figured I must just be gripping it too tight and made a very conscious effort to relax my hands all the time but never got rid of the pain and numbness. I swapped out to Kuryaken ISO grips and became instantly much happier. The Get a grips just didn't work for me.

Not a big fan of most things Kuryakan, but have these and like them.
