Has anyone found comfortable grips for their 'bolt? I looked through the archives but didn't find anything. I'm looking for something easier on the wrists on longer trips.

I've got a set of the Traction handgrips on my Firebolt and my Cyclone and really like them. They're bigger in diameter, have much more grip and are softer than the stock ones, and are CHEAP. Last time I bought a few sets, in case they jumped up in price.
Buell still has them on their website for $16.95. Snag them through one of the sponsors, you'd be hard pressed to find another set for the price and quality.

Just my opinion though...

Spider anti vibration grips take away the numb hand for a good couple hours.

Never heard of them and did a google search, but they sound good. The throttle side fits the Buells ok?

If so, I'll have to give them a shot next time

Thanks for the info. I'm going to order the spider grips from Pit Bull.

I had the traction grips. Definitely an easy install. I just put the spider grips on (a real PITA) but haven't been able to put much time on them due to my work schedule. They felt pretty good on a quick ride through the back roads though. I'll have to see what they're like when I have to hit some highway- they aren't as big around as the traction grips.
