BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hi everyone


I am the proud owner of a new '15 R1200RT and love the bike.  However I have some large hands and these small diameter grips don't make the hands very happy on a long ride.  Do any of you have recommendations for making these grips larger?


Thanks in advance

Try grip buddies or grip puppies. I use grip puppies. They increase the standard grip diameter and dampen vibrations. Easy to fit and if they don't work for you easy to remove. Worth a try.

Thanks

+1 on these, do a good job, Peter

Just ordered the Grip Puppies.  Thanks guys

+1 on grip puppies

Fitted some yesterday, took about 10 mins max with soapy water. Will test ride them today, out all day 

I have used grip puppies for 3000 miles on a R1200RT and they work well for me, slight increase in grip diameter, slight reduction in vibes, nice feel.
I bought mine off Ebay Buy it now.

Yep that's what I eventually got and I really like them
Thanks

How would grip puppies effect how well the grip heaters work in cold weather?

Fitted some a couple of weeks ago. It was 2 degrees in the UK last weekend and I had my heated grips on! So the answer is, they don't seem to make any difference to the heat, if anything they felt warmer

Thanks Casbar! Good to know! Would seriously like to have larger grips but afraid of losing the heating option!

I did the grip puppies and I can also say, the heated grips work just fine

based off this thread i bought a set of grip puppies, i wear a large size glove and my hands are much more comfy - for under 20 bucks they are great

I went to a sporting goods store and bought that material you use to rewrap tennis rackets.  I prefer the feel of that to the grip puppies. 


Do the old style RT grips fit the new RTs, anybody know?  They were the perfect size and feel.
