Has anybody found a more comfortable handlebar grip for the RS models? At 73 years old I'm wishing for a MUCH softer grip for my K1100RS. I really like the machine, but I'm contemplating a ride of the left coast of the US and I don't want to spend 12 - 15 days on the road with these hard factory grips. Somebody has to have found a softer, more comfortable grip. Please let me hear from you.

I use "Grip Puppies" http://andystrapz.com/product/grip-puppies/grip-puppies on my K1100RS.

I use the same- Grip Puppies because my hands are so large.

After 5 years mine are wearing through where my palm rests. Time for another pair.
