I don't know if I'm the only one, but I tend to get sore hands when subjected to regular (thin) grips. On previous bikes, I'd got around this by either using the foam ones (which are horrible in the wet) or by wrapping mygrips in bicycle grip tape, but to thicken them up a few mm. To my delight, I've just found Progrip 842 model grips. These are dual-density gel gripsmade for cruisers (they come in 1" harley or 7/8" Jap sizes). They are thick, soft and super-comfortable.
