Next time you're in Canadian Tire, check out the bicycle section.
There is a 4-pack of "Cushioned Foam Grips" branded with the name Supercycle. Each approximately 9" long, 7/8" inner diameter. They are made of dense black foam rubber. Part No. 73-2406-0
Cutting one in half is a perfect fit for one set of grips, and goes on very well with liquid dish soap. Adds about 1/2" to the outer diameter of the stock grips.
Best part of this is the total cost of the package was under $6! Enough to make 4 sets.
Have a look - YMMV but I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
(If anyone in the Ottawa area wants one of the remaining 3, let me know and I might trade ya for a coffee ).
Neat idea! I wonder if they would slide over a Givi engine guard (take off upper plate) that is scratched up or to keep it from getting marked up.(they are 1" OD)
They came 4 to a pack. Each one was 8 1/2 " long, so I cut them in half to 4 1/4" using a razor blade. Removed the bar end weight. That part may not be necessary. Put a few drops of liquid detergent inside the grips and spread it around inside with a finger and slid them on. Then put the bar end back on. Good to go. My first farkle. They were on sale at Canadian Tire for $4.49 a pack, plus taxes. I read about it here and went for it. Here's the pics.
Hope you like them. Pics are a little blurry.

Exactly what I did, but I didn't remove the end weights.
End result just like in your pics...thanks for saving me from having to snap the pics myself (as requested).
As a side note, CT also has foam grips that have a few indented rings 'cut out'. Might be a viable alternative for those who do not want to do any cutting. (If someone's used these, I'd like to see the end result).
I will be going to CTC tomorrow with my CTC money as well
as well if any Canuks have a comfortable seat replacement for sale send me a pm
