Grip Mod

Long story short - thought I'd share
Have done this on several bikes through the years and consistently get comments "thats pretty cool" and "would have never thought of that".
FTR stock grips are just slightly small for my liking and went to my old "fix"
Wrapped them with tennis racket overgrip/grip wrap.
Its soft, tacky and "moisture wicking".
Can choose any color, is cheap and does make a difference.

Well done! I use grip puppies for the same reasons.
 
Did mine the same about 6 months ago and they are holding up fine.

I'm now thinking about a leather grip. Having wrapped so many tennis racquets with leather grips, I think I can do justice to the handles.
