Default Bigger Grips?

Just wondering if anyone has heard if anyone makes larger grips for the F4I's? I'm kinda a big guy and when I'm out for long rides the grips are so small my hands kill there wrapped around so far.

Grips are pretty much generic, so you don't need to look at just f4i's for what
you want. I've got 7 3/4 from tip of middle finger to wrist-edge of palm, and the
Driven D3's feel comfortable to me. I've always worn a large in glove size.
Not sure if they make a specific 'big and tall" size grip. One of the fat foam
Renthals might be up your alley.

Buy some Grip Puppies from CA Sport Touring. They are definitely worth the money for longer trips. I left mine on my old ZZR for the longest time until I sold the bike.

Frankly the more you ride the more your hands will get used to it.



I use a crampbuster and it's awesome. Clips right on and off. Unfortunately the more you ride with one, the weaker your throttle hand is going to get.

Its hard to get used to after a few hundred miles not being able to open your hand. But I think the grip daddies are going to get a try out and as for "tennis racket grip" really....plz tell me your joking.
