What brand do you guys recommend?  I want something on the more cushioned side as my hands tend to get numb. TIA

Extend your season with heated grips.

Mine are older and no longer available, I would check out this type if I was looking now

Closed course. Professional rider. Do not attempt.

Still privately owned and operated by Hayabusa owner enthusiasts. 2002, small  a/a kit, CF body

If it's in a truck or trailer, it's being stolen

Heated grips are nice, although I do not have them on my Busa. I use larger Cruiser style grips on my Busa. They are more comfortable to me. Before I switched, I rode a friend's Busa that had them and got back on mine and the stock sportbike size felt like pencils in my hands.

I purchased mine off Ebay for about $20 almost 9 yrs ago. I still have my Gen 1 and can't let her go.

The picture of those grips look like they are thicker than the stock grips. How do you like them? They look comfortable.

If they're hard surfaced you may like them but if the're kind of spongy you'll have to increase your grip strength (to hold on) :lol: which fatigues your hand more quickly.

I just ordered them today and yes they are larger in diameter than stock. Sport, I never thought to ask about how spongy or hard they might be but you bring up a good point. I am hoping they are in the middle of what you mentioned.
