BMW Handlebar Grip Set

Replacements for models with heated grips.

With these replacement grips, it's possible to restore your bike's appearance and comfort. Over time, the rubber wears out and the gripping qualities are reduced. Instead of replacing the entire expensive grip assembly, if you are careful, you will be able to simply replace the grip rubber and save a substantial amount of money. These grips are original equipment quality and a direct replacement for the original BMW part. Installation requires extreme caution to avoid damaging the heating elements. We cannot be held responsible if your heating elements are damaged during installation.

The grips have an inside diameter of 24mm and they are 125mm long with an open end.

Installation tips:

Remove bar end weights and or throttle lock
With a sharp razor blade, utility knife etc. very carefully cut along the length of the grips. Be careful not to cut too deeply or you may damage the heating element. Slice just a little at a time until you can tear the grip rubber apart.
Peel off the old grip rubbers
Remove as much of the remnants of grip rubber (if present) as you can to make the surface as smooth and clean as possible
Install the new grips **
Reinstall bar end weights and ensure that they are tight. Thread locking fluid is recommended on the bar end weight bolts and it may be necessary to re-adjust your throttle lock if you have one.

** When installing the grip rubbers, you will need to use something that will act as a lubricant for installation and an adhesive thereafter. Some ideas are a universal spray adhesive or rubber glue and some brands of hair spray have been known to work very well. Whatever agent is used, apply to the inside of the grip and the heating element, then quickly slide the grip on and twist and position it as needed immediately before the lubricant dries.

Please note: Not compatible with models that have the Multi Controller on left handlebar.

Good Replacement Option for the Ribbed Grips on Some Models

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Darrell (Prior Lake, MN) | January 8th, 2014

I preferred the smooth grips on my 06 R1150GSA vs the ribbed version on my 02 R1150GSA. Because I use 30 O-rings over each grip to increase the size of the grips, the ribbed grips were allowing the O-rings to not be smooth (even) across the surface as the smooth ones do. I'm a happy customer using these on the 02 R1150GSA now.

Kind of thin

These look good and went on OK, but they are pretty thin. I can feel the wire and carrier for the heating element through the grip.

Its easy to change, just be careful when you cut the old ones off. I used a very sharp knife to cut through the surface of the old grips and then pulled them off. Then clean as much as you can with some alcohol. I used silicone to slide the new ones on and they get glued on with the same silicone. Works perfect, cheap solution, no damage to the heated part.

Grips went on well. I used some of my Daughter's hair spray. A heavy coat of the spray on the bare surface where the old grip was carefully removed, using a razor blade followed by 91% isopropyl alcohol (from drug store) did the trick. The hair spray gave me plenty of time (much needed) to teist and push, etc. to get the grip on and straight. The grips are one of two styles that I believe were available from BMW. I thought I would try the style that did not come on the bike originally. It works OK. This is a much cheaper but just as good as "Dealer" but MUCH less expensive. I do recommend these grips.
