New grips?

RE: New grips?
My stock grips became worn after 3k miles so I began to search for new ones. Ergonimically motorcycle grips aren't correct for long riding times so I looked for a larger diameter grip. Dennis Kirk makes cruiser grips with an inch and 7/8 inner diameter, and the actual grip diameter is the same diameter as a toilet paper tube. A toilet paper tube is actually what my ergonomic professor says is the ideal diameter for grips on tools, motorcycles, etc.
So for $25 I bought the grips, and they're awesome. I'd recommend drilling a hole in the end to install the bar ends because I had to remove mine in order for the grips to fit. Now I get a slight vibration in the bars but it's tolerable. They look great, and alot of people notice the cruiser grips on my bike. If you want pics let me know.

Interesting, but I'm really looking for something about the same size at the OEM grip. Just with more cushion or gel or something. Thanks for the reply though.
