    Now that I have your attention has anyone used them. Basically a thick foam tube that slides over the handgrips on your bike. I hear they are good for long rides. Am doing ride from Melbourne to Canberra and thought they may help with fatigue and vibration. Have seen them on eBay. Just after opinions. I have a metal plate in my right hand and vibration tends to cramp it up on long rides.

    Yep, got a couple sets fitted, love em, less vibes and they give ya a good hand full to grab on to. Prolly not for everyone, but if that's what feels good, you know the rest.

    I used them on a ZZR-1100 years back and they performed their job well, no dramas. Can't remember the brand unfortunately.

    Are you coming up the Hume or the twisty way? Less vibes coming the twisty way (but cold at the moment though).

    Had a set on my old BMW R100, worked a treat. They were just a couple of pieces of black foam rubber pipe insulation from Bunnings, lasted for years and cheap too.

    The twisty way will be very cold (and slippery in parts) but the Hume is very boring. Catch 22 aye

    Cruise control on the Hume hwy is the best thing you can do for a relaxed ride where you're otherwise gripping the grips for ages

    Bloody work well on my Super Tenere, take all the tingles out of the bars, and makes for a thicker grip for my big mitts.

    Inch and a 1/4 ID pipe insulation tube from Clarke Rubber is the shit so I just found out. Went there this morning and got some to give it a try like Damo222 did and fits over the Willie G grips quite snugly. Makes for a handful but takes the vibes away well. Cnat go wrong for $4.80 !! And its a metre long. Got home made pussy grips til I retire :-)

    One should never assume but I am assuming it takes away the dreaded arm pump and tingles?

    Cheers mate. Might have to take a visit to Clark rubber on our next visit to Radelaide.

    As a side note wazza, Be careful when sliding the Clarke Rubber stuff onto the grips, it tears fairly easy if you force it too much.  Might be just as well it comes in a metre !!
