    I have a 6th gen (my first bike and it came with these grips) the grips are on there way out. I'm about to start looking for some new grips but figured I'd ask for a bit of input. My hands are on the larger side so I want a grip with a little meat on the bone. Thanks in advance....

    Not going to go heated grip route just yet but when I do I will keep these in the mental rolodex.

    I see those grip buddies are installed over the top of stock grips.
    I had ones like this on my f4 and they migrated so much. ;/

    Does anyone have a good suggestion for replacing the grips altogether?

    I do not need heated grips, though I loved the bigger feel of JBs grips on his Viffer despite my small hands.

    If I remember right, he compared my current grips to feeling like toothpicks. :/

    The 719's look dope ... if I didn't ride with heated grips, I'd be checking those out myself.

    I've used Kuryakyn ISO grips in the past and loved them too.

    When it's that time, I'll be installing the adhesive heaters and buying the grip of choice over top. Can add quick disconnects, or just splice into the original Honda wiring.

    Well, I'd urge you to check out the Oxford Heated grips. Amazing (and HOT) ... the come in a variety of shapes.

    The controls are fantastic as well.
