The CBR grips that are on my 929 are nice looking and all but I find them to be too thin after riding for a bit. Any ideas or known options for getting a fatter grip that a man's hands will fit?

 

I had the same problem, had just traded my Goldwing for my 929 and had the stock grips on the 'wing, then on the 929 felt like I had pencils in my hands. Best compromise I've found are foam superbike grips. Found them at Cycle Gear and I think they're the bikemaster ones. $6, even if you don't like them it's worth a try. I wanted a fatter grip and I squeeze the hell out of my grips (don't know why) so I wanted something with some give and gel didn't do it. They're pretty dense foam so it's not like holding a dish sponge and i've ridden in the rain with them and they don't soak up water. I've had them on for about 4 months and pretty happy with them still, when they wear out I'll get another set.

 

I use these:

I had the ends pre-drilled for bar-end weights and the heat output is great. Especially great if you get caught in the rain on a <60F without waterproof gloves. The only time my hands get cold when it's below 40F is when I have to grab the clutch lever, stupid metal...

 

so does those heated handles come with a switch to turn it on or off.

 

Yup, they have high/low and off. I can only use them on hi when I have my giant gore-tex gloves on, otherwise they can get too hot. If you do get them read the install on webbikeworld:

It is possible to accidentally glue your throttle sleeve to the bar if you are sloppy. I stuffed a lot of paper towel in the way so any extra by the control side stuck to it and could be pulled off. Then I wiped up any glue on the grip before it could set to keep everything pretty.

 

very nice i am goign to look into that

Extremely comfortable, and larger in diameter. I personally believe (IMHO!) if i need grip warmers I dont need to ride. I hate cold weather.

 

lol yea, but i live in northern WI and i will ride my bike as long as i can. Season is way to short to ride here so if i have to ride till november when its 30-40 out i will.
