Affordable option for your ride...heated grips work well and the larger grip circumference is invaluable on long days

The product is as described. Very well made. I will keep them even though I have decided not to use them for now. I may in the future. I have arthritis in my hands and was hoping along with increased size better feel with out the death grip. Unfortunately I found the material too thick. They didn’t give me a good feel, felt isolating.

I appreciate the size these grips offer for my size 13 hands! They are firm and just soft enough to feel like I have a firm grip. The adhesive and sewing to attach it is of good quality. Easy application!

This is the second bike I have used Grip Buddies on. Whether I'm using heavy gloves or light weight summer gloves this product reduced my hand fatigue. BMW GRIPS are of a very small diameter and transmit vibrations. With Grip Buddies it is much easier to keep my hand on the grips. As a bonus, they do not interfere with my heated grips. They stay in place and conform to my hand contours. I highly recommend this product.

Great economical solution for my narrow grips. These wraps stop my hands from cramping and also allow the heat to transfer through, albeit you will need to go to level 3 on the grip heater menu. Should also be good for summer and keeping hands from sweating

Nice addition

Just purchased a 2016 GTL and had to have bigger grips. For the price, they definitely do the job and do not slip. The only drawback is the seam. The placement is good and only sits under my thumb, but the velcro needs to be re-seated occasionally. Not a deal breaker, but the guy who solves that issue should be a millionaire. Have not used them with the heat yet, but overall a very good solution to the small BMW grips.

In 2015 I rode my '95 R100GSPD over eight thousand miles in the eleven day Iron Butt Rally, (finished 74th) and this single addition to the bike relieved the discomfort to my hands completely. I often run my bikes 1K mikes a day in rallies and have tried a half dozen grip covers. These Grip Buddies are the only ones I'll now use. They are easy to put on and they don't slip. Comfortable, and especially applicable on my '88 R100RS with its forward leaning position. Takes the pressure off the palms of my hands.

I have big hands, so the standard grips on R Nine T just didn't feel comfortable. I wanted to upgrade the size of the grips without loosing the heating ability, and have to spend $100+ on the upgrade. This product works well, but overpriced for wehat it is, and too much of a shipping fee for how small and light the product is. I'm still happy.
Best and most inexpensive accessory I have added to my R1200RT

Rode a friend's K1200 GT with these and ordered some for myself. Easily installed in minutes. So much more comfortable when riding.

Good if you really need that bigger girth

If you really need that bigger girth, I guess this is the best thing out there. I got them to try if it will be more comfortable for me with a bigger girth and also reduce vibrations. They do reduce vibration. In the thinner summer gloves the increased girth is ok but i just switched to warmer gloves and for my hands the added circumference is a bit too much. I'll probably end up removing them, at least for the colder month when I am wearing thicker gloves. Also, while it does transmit heat from heated grips, the heat is significantly reduced. I have a two setting heated grips. on the high setting it feels like the low setting in the thinner gloves and I can barely feel it on the low setting when the grips are installed. Also, i would point out that according to the instructions, you should figure out where your finger tips are on and install the grips in such a way that the seem is just past your finger tips. Indeed that is the best location for it. However, if you estimate where you finger tips would be by placing your hand on the stock grip, you will probably be 1/4 inch short (I was). That's because with increased circumference of the added grip buddies your finger tips wrap around differently; so my suggestion is two move the position of the seam about 1/4 inch away from you to a more down position/towards the front of the bike.
