Grip Puppies motorcycle grip covers add a soft outer layer to your existing handlebar grips. They are an option for riders who want a more cushioned feel at the bars without replacing the original grips. Check the size of the grips already fitted and consider how the added thickness will feel with your riding gloves.
How Grip Puppies fit
Grip Puppies slide over the existing rubber grips, so the original grips stay in place. The soft material adds cushioning and is intended to reduce the vibration felt through the grip. It also increases the grip diameter, which is an important part of the choice rather than an incidental change.
Check the grip size
The standard Grip Puppy is intended for conventional grips associated with 22mm handlebars. The manufacturer distinguishes this from larger cruiser-style grips, for which it identifies the Big Paw option. Check the actual grip dimensions and the chosen cover's guidance rather than relying on a universal-fit description.
Using heated grips
Grip Puppy states that its covers can be used with heated grips. Assess the complete combination, including the extra thickness and how easily you can reach and operate your controls while wearing gloves. Heated-grip compatibility does not mean every bar-end or handguard arrangement has identical clearance.
Choosing covers and other accessories
The Grip Puppy range also includes larger-fit Big Paw covers and accessories such as the Arnie kit hanger and Rider Scan mirror. These serve different jobs: cushioning at the bars, storing riding equipment or supplementing the view around the motorcycle. Check the individual accessory's purpose and fitting requirements rather than assuming the grip-cover guidance applies across the brand.
Fitting and control clearance
Follow the manufacturer's fitting guide for the cover you choose. Grip Puppies can be trimmed to length where required, but check the intended position and clearance before cutting. Once fitted, make sure the cover is secure and does not foul the switchgear or bar end, and that the throttle moves freely and returns normally.
