A tad fiddly to fit on the throttle grip.
Personally I find that they make the grips a little bit too thick. But they are an improvement over the stupidly spindly factory grips.
Heating still appears to work OK.

I bought the grip buddies to eliminate/reduce the tingling sensation in my right hand. Even after having watched the videos etc., I was not quite sure what to expect from them. Clearly not a high tech solution. They arrive in a small clear plastic bag with fitting instructions. Straight forward to fit as well. I had the chance to test them on a recent trip to Scotland (over 1900 miles in total from the South Coast).
Overall I am very pleased with the result. They offer a slightly spongy but more substantial feel of the handlebar and I basically had no more (or if I want to be very critical) hardly any tingling sensation in my right hand. So for me a very good investment.

Unlike the sponge variants they do not hold water which is great for all-weather riding. The fit never altered once in 3 years and they showed no signs of wear.

Difficult to judge right now, as I’ve not ridden the bike since I put them on the bike. Had to cut them along the edge to fit the BMW grips. Will be interesting to see if they stay in place as there is only one part on the grips that is “sticky” and that’s it. I’m also hoping I can still get a nice heat transference through them when I use the heated grips.

I bought these as a cheaper option than replacing my OEM grips. I thought covering a worn grip with them would work and happily it does . They do seem thick on the first couple of rides but you get use to that .The heated grips can be felt but I had to turn mine up to max heat which Ive never done before. I also had to click my levers back so my short fingers could reach them, but thats why they are adjustable ! I have arthritis in my thumb and maybe no better but not worse through these grips. I do have a tiny fray appearing ( could be loose thread at the end of the line) but if it gets no worse than it won't be an issue.

The grips don't make any difference to vibrations from my XR.
I've decided for now to keep the grips on the bike as on a long trip my hands weren't as closed as without the grips and so better for reducing muscle fatigue.
I bouht them thinking they would reduce vibration on the XR but as they don't I wouldn't recommend them for that bike.

I purchased these for the K1600 which after my 1400GTR has small diameter grips. The fit is OK; its a bit trial and error to get a perfect joint that I still have't. Certainly I'm happy with the increased diameter as this reduces the response time on the fly by wire throttle. I've yet to use them on the open road as its a lock down at present .I would give five star except I feel this is an overpriced product.

Are they better than Grip puppies? The price makes you think so. The jury is still out for me. Having said that they are very comfortable. I'm not a massive fan of the seam, although you can't feel it, you can see it. Another plus point over the puppies is they don't absorb water which is good. Very easy to fit, in fact easier than the puppies.

These Grip Buddies slid out of the packet,and after a 2 minute read of the instructions,were in place on around the stock grips.They increase the diameter of the stock grips,but they seem to feel better for it.The absorption of vibration is dramatically reduced and in my opinion gives more relaxed all round riding experience.Dead fingers no more !.
Grip Buddies Keith Waide-Bull on Sep 19, 2018

Very comfortable to use, reduces vibration considerably and increases diameter slightly thus giving a more solid grip.
The only negative is that one has to wrap the fabric round the bar to join to a Velcro strip that in turn creates a seam. Having made a number of attempts to make a neat joint it still feels somewhat uneven. Admittedly the manufacturers advise to position the joint on the bars where ones fingers do not come into contact but still can’t create a smooth seam.
Would I buy them again? Given the comfort of the grip..definitely

These work well (in that they reduced the vibrations, which is why I bought them) and were straightforward to install.
Their design (wrap-around) does mean they leave a visible seam and I would have preferred a single piece of tube that I rolled onto the grips.
Ultimately however they make the grip a little too large for my liking (coupled with the fact that my glove seems to catch them/stick to them momentarily when trying to come off the throttle) so I may remove them from the bike soon.

Perfect fit for the GS grips. I suffer with vibration that aggravates my hand and shoulder. These grips haven't entirely eliminated it but I'd say its an 80% reduction plus, the fatter 'grip' in your hand means you don't have to grip the bars as tightly which is no doubt a big contributing factor to their benefit. I have not yet used the self-adhesive strip as I wanted to ride it several times before deciding where to attach them permanently. So far I have found that, whilst the grips eventually rotate around a little, they don't seem to need to be permanently attached to be able to ride and feel the benefit. I may never stick them on as it means that you can take them off and switch them to another bike with ease. Good product - would buy again.

But they increase the circumference of the grips and I haven’t quite got used to that yet, still calibrating it, if you like.
They are comfortable and the heat gets through them even when wet and they are not like holding wet sponges when it’s raining.
I’ll get used to the fatter grips soon, I hope

Great idea if not slightly flawed - due to having to roll the cushion over the existing grip you depend on the coming together of the Velcro - after a couple of tries got a satisfactory result apart from the slight ridge where the join is - to ensure they stayed put I secured each with some 30 amp fuse wire twisted tight - now have a fantastic result - the feel is greatly improved and had no dead hands.

This is the third pair of grip buddies I have purchased. Good bit of kit. Easy to remove/install. They provide good insulation to vibration through the bars, without loosing "feel". Totally weather proof. They last about a year before becoming frayed (depending on use). Heated grips are still effective. They do obviously make the grip diameter larger but for me that is a plus

Fitted these for a recent NC500 run. Easy to fit needing only slight trimming for the Crosstourer. Excellent in terms of filling the hand more than the too small standard grips. Also the soft feel is comfortable too. Heated grips still work ok but they do insulate the grip a little transmitting less heat to the glove. I would recommend particularly if you have large hands.

I bought these mainly because I found the stock grips on the GS to be a little too slim for my hands, and because the stock grips were getting 'sticky' like they do! Grip buddies have made things much more comfortable. They fit my hands better and I now have better (more subtle) throttle control. Vibration has been reduced so I suffer less numbness as a result. They were easy to fit and adjust. The only negative for me is that they do reduce the effectiveness of the heated grips. I used to use the grips on setting one most of the time, only going to setting 2 in the coldest conditions. With Grip Buddies fitted setting 1 has become redundant and in the recent cold weather (around 1c to 2c) setting 2 wasn't really doing the job. On a recent full day out riding in the cold I came close to taking the Grip Buddies off to get some heat in my hands!

Fitted well and do work with the heated grips although naturally take longer to heat up.
Only issue is that I have Wunderlich cruise control fitted, which is a mechanical clamp system to stop the throttle snapping back, and this has tightened up with the Grip Buddies although they are not in contact with the mechanism. Not sure whether a problem that has developed with the unit or caused by the Grip Buddies.

The wires running through the heated grips I had fitted, were, I believe, transmitting high frequency engine vibrations to my hands. This caused my fingers to numb after about 20 minutes riding. This was uncomfortable and raised a safety issue as I couldn't feel the clutch/brake levers properly. This problem was solved by the Grip Buddies I purchased. They took minutes to fit, completely isolated me from the vibes and were very comfortable. The extra circumference they created were great for my large hands as my fingers were not as cramped. My only gripe would be the price. At nearly £30, incl P&P, that's a lot for two strips of Neoprene with two strips of Velcro sewn on. However, thirty quid to give me back a much more comfortable and safer ride is money well invested. Highly recommended.
