Hrip puppies... Hmm never heard about them. Sounds like a good idea. My hands are xl. And find the original grips a bith thin.

Brilliantly simple to fit - got some on my Bandit but the GTR seems fine. http://www.grip-puppy.co.uk/

Jonny, I got some sports oxford grips for Christmas, and fitted them soon after. I do a hundred miles a day on my bike and they are in constant use, they are brilliant. I think they have five settings, I put them on 100% to start and after a few minutes drop the temperature to 40% and I wear summer gloves.

They are well made, come with quality fittings and look tidy.

As for the hand diameter size, because I like my comfort, I use grip puppies, (Google them) basically a foam tube that fits tightly over your grips. They make the grips just that bit bigger and take some of the vibration of the bike out.

I cant recommend oxford sport heated grips enough, if your around West London or Reading I can show you.

Hi Trousesnake01 - were in Reading? I'm in Burghfield and perhaps you might fancy a brew sometime?
