I think mine are Bikemaster foam grips. I like them because the outside diameter is a little bigger and they are easier to resist the spring torque of the throttle. The narrower grips pull on the palm of the glove and can cause annoying wrinkles.Skids (Sid Hansen)

I have fat aftermarket grips on two bikes and skinny factory grips on three of my bikes.
I like the skinny grips because I can get to WOT more easily.-Mike

Bish, right throttle side housing COMES with new grip installed from Yammies factory, and having gripping flutes on plastic throttle housing, is difficult to remove grip. Left side is just an internally smooth grip.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

Bish, for left side grip, no matter grip choice, either use Grip Glue(which most motorcycle retailers have in a tiny tube), or better yet, purchase a small can of White Rain or Final Net hair spray and spray left side of handlebar. Immediately install left grip and let sit overnite. Gives the best grip adhesion I've ever come across and is cheap.
