    G-Day everyone!

    So, after owning my VFR for almost 2 weeks (and about 500 miles) now, I'm finding that what I'd Really like to get is some softer hand grips. Does anyone have some softer, non-stock grips which they REALLY like, and/or where can I get some?

    My hands will appreciate any and all feedback. ;-)

    Pro Grip Gel Grips are nice and squishy....

    Progrips

    They are available on many websites, and in my experience most dealerships carry them at reasonable prices.

    Larger diameter hand grips are usually more comfortable as well.

    I've tried just about all of them. Surprisingly, I have been using a set of BMW touring grips on my Blackbird and now VFR. Great comfort, durability and vibration resistance. A little more pricey but once they're on, I don't think about it again.

    I just put a set of ProGel grips on my bike. I have noticed a difference. They cost very little so you really have little to lose by giving them a try.
