GRIP BUDDIES

[Greg goes wild]

I have been looking for either the NEW OEM HEATED handgrips Or would the GRIP BUDDIES IF they
still sell them would fit right over the OEM grips? Mine are worn down BIGLY needs replacing. I was
reading the past posts from 20!3 but would they still work IF available? OR do i have to order them
from BMW dealer

Grip Buddies are a great product. I've used them on my BMWs for 25-30 years - 1975 BMW R90/100; 1998 R1100R, 2016 BMW C650 GT and currently 2019 BMW C650 GT. They work fine on my C650GTs with heated grips. Installation is easy and they are inexpensive in the BMW world.. Get them and you will ask yourself why you waited. I order them direct.

How long do they last? The OEM ones are the original n i do NOT
want to pay that much for them. Those GRIP BUDDIES just slide over the OEMS?

Yes they over the OEMS, I have used a LITTLE dish soap as a lubricant which then dries on inside.

Yes, use a lubricant or if you pull too hard they tear apart.
