    I have BIG hands and the stock grips feel really small for me, even wearing gloves which I almost always do. Couple things I'm asking. Are the handlebars 7/8", that's what they look like to me. Secondly does anyone recommend a good replacement that is chrome and black and thicker in circumference? Thanks in advance.

    Chacal has some that are very similar to these only with plain chrome on the ends.

    I've only had them for a few months so I can't vouch for the longevity but they look as good as the day I installed them even with a number of rainy rides and sitting in the sun.
    They have a very nice feel to them. With my medium sized hands they may be a bit fat with winter gloves, but are perfect with summer gloves.
    I think they were around $14 a pair

    Thanks, they look great and the price is good. I'll check what Chacal has. :)
