Default Grab On foam grip covers

I'd like to install these foam covers to improve long distance touring comfort without giving up on the heated grip feature of my 2010 Ultra Limited. My hands tend to go numb on long rides and I'm hoping these foam covers will be an inexpensive and effective solution. We are preparing for our Daytona trip! Can anyone with experience confirm that these foam covers will not negatively impact my heated grips and have the correct stock number to fit my bike? Thanks!

Regarding your hands going numb, have you tried to adjust your handlebars? It is just a possibility that a small adjustment may improve grip angle, for example, and improve your comfort. On a long trip quite small things can affect us in various ways. I used to suffer problems with my shoulders on long trips until I altered mine. The grip covers may also help, of course, but they are not the underlying problem.

Thanks, haven't tried adjusting the bars, but I will. Still interested in trying the foam too grip covers.

I can't help you with the Grab On question ( although we use to use them a lot back in the 70's ) but I would offer you a suggestion with regards to your hands going numb. Try relaxing your "squeeze" on the grips. Let the bars kind of "float" in your hands. This is how we would reduce fatigue and "pump up" when riding in the woods with the dirt bikes and it helped a lot. Good Luck.

I have these foam covers on my other bike with heated grips and they work fine.
