I put those grips on one of my Buells, I liked them so much I put them on my other Buell and my old Honda too. They have a very similar shape to the Traction grips but are made of a softer compound.

I have Sunline Grand Touring grips and they're pretty awesome. I have large hands and these make long rides possible without my hands cramping.

For 10 bucks, how bad an experiment can that be?!

I have a question - are guys looking for new grips because of hand size? I mean, I have small hands, and the stock grips are fine with me - I also don't grip very tightly. Is the deal with the traction grips that they give a bigger center area for a bigger hand to grab onto? Or is it something else?

Hand size is what drove me to the barrel style grips. Makes a world of difference for my XL hands.
