I want to replace the grips on my 2016 R1200RT but need the dimensions before ordering For example, what's the inside diameter to include the heating element? Also, the length of the installed grips vary; one is 123m and the other 125mm. I have Pro Grip 719 Gels on my VFr and like them. Suggestions?

Yeah, I tried those. I have small hands and found they increased the circumference a little too much for comfort. Thanks for the input.

Apologies for dragging up an old thread.
The grips on my 2018 were looking a bit worn so I tried a tip that I found on another forum, Cricket bat handle grip cut to size and slipped over the current grip. It's thin enough to not increase the size of the grip but tight enough to do the job, plus it's cheap... as an example -
