My Handgrips on the 1200 is far smaller in diameter than on my GS1150
So much so that my hands are going numb
Anyone had this problem, and what's the fix
Thanks in advance
 
Grip puppies would be an easy, quick and cheap solution:thumby:
 
+1 for Grip Puppies; and despite your cubic capacity, you only need the smaller ones !
 
Cut all the fingers and thumb of your right hand off with a pair of bolt cropper at the first knuckle.....you may need help with this......
 
Same for me......can't stand skinny grips.......grip puppies do the job, cheap and simple to fit. :thumb
 
I found grip puppies were too fat.

I used some 3mm Sorbothane sheet (get the softest grade you can). Cut to fit around the grip and cover with snooker cue heat shrink sleeve. Sobothane absorbs vibrations and the job adds about 8mm to the grip diameter.

Soft Sorbothane. Arrange the joint to the front of the grip so you wont notice the ridge. On right side, open throttle to its normal setting and arrange the joint on the opposite under side from your hand contact.

Snooker cue sleeve - Get a size that will just go over the hand grip end flange. It heat shrinks to fit.
