RE: Grips

["Retherford, Martin" <MRetherford@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

By the way the grips are made of pretty dense rubber.



The grips I am using are named Grand touring if I remember correctly and
they are much nice!  I got them at Orange County Triumph of the wall.  A
couple of quick cuts and your in business.  BTW on the throttle grip, try
disassembling the throttle and then put on the grip or you will break
something...

		I've got a question about what kind of grips, other than the
heated
		ones, you guys have been using.  I notices on the pictures
of the Vista
		Cruise throttle lock that Martin has larger grips, though I
could not
		tell exactly what they are made of and I certainly don't
know the brand,
		though I believe someone commented on it at the time the
picture was
		posted.

		Here's my problem.  About 9 years ago I sliced my middle and
index
		fingers of my left hand "to the bone" (don't ask how--it was
stupid) and
		had to have tendons reattached, rehab, etc.  As a result, I
have a large
		amount of scar tissue between my top and middle joints on my
middle
		finger.  It appears that after rides of 150 miles plus, I
wake up the
		next day having pain and a bit of initial trouble bending
that finger.  

		I am thinking that softer/larger grips will probably take
care of this
		problem. Richard has foam grips on the Exec. that I like,
but
		unfortunately, we can't find any more like it, and I don't
like the
		other ones my dealer has.  What do you guys use, and how do
you like it?
		One concern: will the larger grips interfere with my reach
to the brake
		& clutch?  I have long hands, but my reach is almost maxed
out there.

		Thanks in advance for the info.! :-)
