Great service from Nippy's, product arrived within 2-3 days of ordering. Bought as i have arthritis in a few of my finger joints, increasing the grip diameter and reducing the vibration has helped a lot. Slight drop in heat from the original grips but still good.

These grip covers really make a difference to the standard grips. The reduced vibration is very obvious but also extra comfort generally.

So far, so good, added comfort for those longer journeys, very easy to put on, but would advise smearing a little touch of washing-up liquid on the inside with your finger, (found that out doing the second one, it flew on), not yet tried with the heated grips on, but I'm sure they'll be fine.

Far better quality than the cheaper alternatives you can find elsewhere. Strong and highly waterproof and a perfect (without cutting) fit for the 1200 GSA.

Appear to be good quality, but how do you describe a piece of sponge tube. They fit nice & snug and look part of the Grips, hopefully they will be of benefit as I suffer from tennis elbow whilst riding,
Good prompt service from Nippy Normans as usual

Had a few issues with these being delivered at first, but NippyNormans sorted these out quickly and admirably. Product does exactly what it says and it´s greate to save your OEM grips. mainly if heated, from wear.

A must have item for your riding comfort with no down sides.
Could be improved by having pre-sized option as you have to cut down to size which is trickier than first expected.

As always super service from NN. Grips are Fab and really comfortable. Very easy to install. You don’t need soapy water etc. Just cut to length, get them started on the handlebar and keep tapping the end of the foam grip with the palm of your hand and on they go. Work fine with the heated grips.

Excellent piece of kit. Really has helped to make the grips thicker for my bigger hands and thus easier grip and less pain in fingers and shoulders. Easy to fit; a little washing up liquid to help. Fast delivery. Highly recommend them.

These are very comfy, work well with heated grips as well.
The downside is that they must be trimmed as they are too long AND they rotate on the original grips (at least on my bike) so I'll have to use a double sided tape or something to keep them in place (especially on the throttle!!).

Really easy to add to existing grips and makes such a difference if you have big hands as reduces the stress on the fingers and makes for a more relaxed ride. They also allow the heat to come through the grips.

A good product. Pros, easy trimming and fitment to the bars. Good comfort and reduces vibrations. Gives the bars a better feel than the standard smaller grips. Cons (so far), still move a little on the bars and the handle bar heaters arent so effective. Would I buy again. Yeah sure.

These are great for sports bikes where there's lots of weight on your wrists at low speeds. They are also more grippy than the factory-fitted items.
Easy to fit too - highly recommended.

I bought these to replace the last pair I purchased as the old ones are starting to look a bit tatty after about 3 years of use. I like thick grips so these fit the bill, being easy to put on and are comfortable in use especially if you have large hands with long fingers. I will buy them again when these wear or if I change bikes.

As I have large hands I find the OE grips on the GS too slim. I wouild have swopped these for somthing thicker but due to bieng heated this was not an option, The foam grip covers increase the diameter considerably and also cut down on some of the vibes. Overall a worthwile mod.

Added these to my bike before a 2000 mile European tour. Best thing about could have purchased. Should be fitted as standard to all gs bmws. Reduces tingling and more comfortable size to grip. Downside: reduces heated grip effectiveness by about 10% I'd say, but still worth it!

I'd been experimenting with ways of reducing hand/wrist fatigue on longer journeys and wanted to find a solution before heading to France for a tour. I installed a set of grip covers, tested them on a 75 mile journey, and found comfort to be significantly improved.

These are great, so easy to slip on with a spray of GT85 or similar. They reduce some of the vibes from the bars. As to their longevity who knows, still at the price, buying a replacement set is not going to break the bank!

Do exactly what they say on the tin...really make a difference.
I had fitted some Oxford Heated Grips -which I think are made of a harder rubber composite than the original BMW grips. Consequently I was feeling the vibration more. But these grips certainly make a difference - no adverse affect with the heating aspect and very comfortable.
Very plush ;-)

Replacement for pair that have worn out after 5 years (one side only probably due to throttle lock.)
Great bit of kit, easy to fit improves comfort would not be without. They do slow down heat getting through from heated grips but I have not found that a problem.

I love these grip puppies. They gostraight on over your stock grips and make riding all day long much easier, no vibration or cramps. And they don't interfere with heated grips - only takes a minute or two longer to heat up. They're easy to install too, I use a little hairspray acting like a lubricant so they slide on easy but when it dries it's like a glue holding it in place. I've had 2 sets in as many years, so they won't last forever, but they're a valuable item at a good price.
