Well i've been over E-bay and a few other sites as well as here. I'm wanting to replace the grip covers on by bike. these are like 1/4 rubber or composite tubing that fits over the actually grip. mine are smooth black, not foam not cushy or anything more like a heater hose in finish. one is starting to shrink a bit. I don't wnat blue waffle heated foamy things or any other type. I've the "original" that were on the bike when i bought it back in 2011, are non slip in the rain, don't get hot in the FL sun, hardly any dirt sticks to them. I also find them very comfortable, there is just enough give in the "rubber" so i can hold on for a long time, but the foam i've had on other bikes I always feel as if I have to squeeze extra hard to maintain the "feel". Any ideas?

Go here; http://www.shop.shinhopples.com/main.sc and search for ShinGrips

That is what I using on my wing, very similar to the old Grip Puppies that I had on my Venture, but cannot find anywhere these days.

 

You could Google Grip Puppies to see if anyone has them, I always bought from California Sport Touring, but at last check they were out of business.

I use these, http://www.chilhowee.net/grip-covers.html . They are just a patch of leather, with or without the tassels as you prefer, that sit over the existing grips. Just enough added diameter and they don't require you to grip any harder to turn the throttle. They do require some contact cement to be used to keep them in place.
