Installation is simple but requires a little prep and patience. The end of the grips is flared, so sliding doesn't actually work. Take a little soapy water and coat the inside of the Grab-On covers and the handgrip. Work the end of the cover over the flare, then push the cover inward while twisting back and forth. It's important to coat the inside of the cover as well as the grip, and work fairly quickly. When the water dries, the cover is locked in place.
Hair spray works well, too, but you have to be quicker, as it dries quicker. This all takes about the same time or less to do it than to read it. Do it once, and the next time it will go even faster.
These covers wear very well and don't seem to have a problem with UV breaking them down. This size should fit any bike with 7/8" bars, which is pretty much all Japanese bikes and a lot of others. The throttle side is a little thicker but that's ok. These will work. They add a little softness and diameter to the factory grips and absorb a little vibration.
PRO TIP: remove the Honda grips and replace them with softer, more comfortable grips. Many riders have a personal preference that the Honda grips don't meet. Add the Grab-On covers and life is good.
I have bought and will buy these again.
These were purchased with my own money and I did not receive a discount for my objective (and subjective where noted) review.
Sliding the grips over the existing ones was a bit difficult as the stock BMW grips have a raised, beveled end. I applied a solution of diluted dish soap and was able to pull the foam grips onto the stock ones. The instructions say you can trim the grips with scissors but this was not necessary. On my throttle grip the Grab On rests inside the stock grips beveled edge allowing the friction cruise control to work as designed. Same for the left grip.
Even though the cost of these is low the material grade is high. EPDM foam. I'm not sure but it reminds me of the skin on a wetsuit. No worries about tearing them as you pull them on. Since the foam is high density it looks like they will last a lot longer than others I have seen. I checked and they don't twist when the grips are set to high heat.
Grab On's are a simple and effective solution to small stock grips.
Getting them on was a bit of a pain, as the BMW heated grips have an outboard rubber rim larger in diameter than the inner portion of the grip. I got around this by inserting a smooth plastic tube in the Grab On Grip Cover and sliding this tube over the outer grip rim on the bike, sort of like a "shoe horn" for the Grab On Grip Cover. It allowed me to "push" the foam covers on. Once mostly over the grip, I could pull the plastic tube out with some effort. I used soapy water to help things slide.
A very noticeable difference on my first ride with the Grip Covers. MUCH less hand fatigue and no numbness. These make for a larger diameter grip (more comfortable for me) and dampen a great deal of vibration. I also added a "Crampbuster" to compliment these covers.
The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was the manner in which the product is packaged and shipped. The Grip Covers are flattened in their package, resulting in two creases where each "tube" has been flattened. Yes these disappear once the product is installed, but I bet when they do split in a few years time, it will be along one of these creases. This product should be in a blister pack so the tubes remain round and are not crushed flat. The price is right though and the comfort gains a huge plus!
The clutch now comes all the way to the grip, but this also does not bother me.
My primary goal is to protect the BMW grips (which are asymetrical - standard replacment grips are circular in the inside end, the BWM grip is ovaloid). Getting BMW grips is extremely pricey - ergo some disposable foam grips to protect the BMW grips (which were showing substantial wear).
Feel is fine, warmth still comes through with the heated grips turned on - though it takes a bit longer and is a little muted. I also like the larger outside diameter the foam grips create.

After the install, I have done over 1000 km with zero hand pain and the grips are a bit bigger which suits my large hands better. The grips have not moved or shifted. I don't feel the vibrations with my hands at all. I would highly recommend these grips. These along with throttle lock and grip paddle - will make long trips even more enjoyable.
1. Not very easy to install! I found that using a screwdriver to "lift" the overgrip while pushing it on really helped
2. The final appearance does not suggest "quality". An improvement in product appearance would make a real difference.
Overall though, I'm glad I installed them because they are SO much more comfortable.
