cure for BMW 800GS skinny grips

lilmonkey · 08-07-2010, 08:07 PM

When I was in for my 600 mile service at the dealer there was an ol' timer there on his 30 anniversary F800 that had taken a series of large O-Rings and covered both stock grips...not only did it give a very comfortable grip, but it looked nice too. Said he had been doing it for years on all of his BMW's.

My tiny hands probably didn't need it, but if I do end up doing it, I'll post the size of the O-Ring.
