Handlebar pressure point - grip problem?

Big Sky · Sep 30, 2015

Good riding gloves have minimal seams in pressure areas (especially crook of the thumb) and these should be on the outside. Otherwise...yes, they will hurt.

These grip covers work well. And, if you were curious about installing them on top of factory heated grips. NO issues with Heat transferring through to your gloves.

I'm not a big grip guy. Installing grip buddies, etc. made my forearms ache something fierce. I was way better off with the smaller OEM grips. Then someone recommended these- smaller diameter & cushiony. Maybe they'll help you.

As I said, the BMW grips helped a lot. I'm replacing my cheap Olympia gloves with some nice Spidis. I went for a few rides with my old torn gen 1 cortech accelerators, and everything was much better. I can't buy the new version of that glove though; when they redesigned it they completely ****** up the sizes. Now a medium is too narrow in the knuckles yet still too LONG in the fingers; large only makes it worse.

I might try foam covers later, but for now I've found the source(s) of my problem. Thanks guys for being so patient with me!
