Looking for advice. I would like a thicker grip, to get a little more leverage on the throttle spring. I have a some tendonitis in my right elbow, also, which starts to shout at me after a little while. I have already paid for the Buell heated grips, so don't feel that replacing the grip itself is an option for me. Does anybody know of another solution, as in a sleeve of some type that would slide over the existing grips?

This is about all I found, not sure if they are big enough.

The Buell Traction Grips are considerably thicker and should do the trick. I used them on my XB9S and really liked them.

My friend uses tennis racket grip tape on his grips to fit his bear paws he call's hands. He swears by it & has done it on the past 3 bikes he's had.

Seems like it is a cheap/easy/"customizable" solution to me.

The traction grips would be my first choice, but for the fact I already have the heated grips. The grip covers and grip puppies look like what I was thinking about, but will look at racket tape also.

Thanks, guys!

I ordered the grip puppies from CST, but also brought my throttle rocker out of retirement. I won't use this thing in a sporting situation, but it is really helping my soreness in local riding.
