Anybody tried the HVMP bar end weights from the States? My !200S turns my fingers to numb sausages in 20 mins! Throttle body balance helped a bit but still a problem. If our cars made our fingers numb in an hour we would be at the manufacturer like a no win no fee solicitor outside a VW dealer!

Before you do, give Grip Puppies a try

I have them on my K and my GS. Mainly to protect those expensive BMW heated grips from wear, but also because I find the grips on bikes now to be quite narrow somehow and prefer the extra girth (oooeeer vicar) that the grip puppies add. Of course on top of those benefits they also drastically reduce vibes.

Wemoto also do a neoprene sleeve that fits over the brake and clutch levers to kill vibes from them too

^ This. the grips on my 1100S were a perfect sausage but the 12 has chipolatas. They make a huge difference to me and in conjunction with the throttle insert actually reduce the amount of twist needed to get the throttles open.

Do you still get the warmth of the heated grips through the grip puppies? The standard setup on my NineT is also very narrow.

Yes I have them on my R1200ST - it just takes a littele longer to feel the heat

+1 the heat on the the GT and the GS just takes longer as said

Thanks chaps, grip puppies ordered as the first step to being able to feel my fingers. Although.... There are some times when numbness may be good... Hmmmm

Grip Puppies have arrived!!! Fast service from Fleabay. Taken the plunge and ordered the panniers as well. £390 from Germany delivered, bit cheaper than the £545 collected from 20 miles away!!
