I'd like to maybe replace the OEM grips on my '96 VFR. I like the Oury Road Grip but at 5" long it wouldn't work in place of the 4 3/4" stockers without cutting... which would look like shite minus the end flare next to the bar ends.

Anyone know of a fatter, softer grip like the Oury's that fit the bill?

ProGrip Gel, many styles, lengths, thickness' and colors. I have used several sets on different bikes and they are always Excellent.
Not expensive either, made in Italy, $5-$15 depending on your selection.

I like Progrip 719's.  There's nothing wrong with cutting if the grip's design is set up for it.  The 719's are.

Shots from the old 2004 bike.  You can see the natural line to cut for the throttle on the last pic.

I have used several different Pro-Grip's in the past, but switched to the Oury's. Yes, I had to cut the ends off........and yes, I am not exactly happy with the looks, but the grips are better than any Pro-Grip I've used.
