In a quest for a little more comfort, I was researching grip options and found that many sport-tourers are installing BMW Sport Grips (BMW part numbers 32721458395 & 32721458396) I ordered them from bikebandit.com and they arrived nice and quick. Installation was simple - remove bar ends, cut off the old grips, and use hairspray to slide the new grips on. One little catch was that the BMW grips are longer than the OEM grips, so I had to trim a little off the end. In my opinion, it's impossible to notice. I could have modified my switch housings to move them inward on the bars to make room, but I didn't want to. Because of all the snow I have not ridden with them yet but they feel much better than the Pro Grip gel grips I had on there. The fit fine over my Symtec grip heaters and the heat seems to come through these thicker grips just fine.
