Hi,
I'm only 5'7" tall but have big hands...know what they say about guys with big hands.

Anyway, I want to know from other guys with large hands what type of aftermarket handgrips they have tried/recommend, also what gloves they use.

I have some AS gloves that are 2XL, all my motocross gloves are XXL or size 11
Big hands? You aren't going to be asking who makes a suit with a codpiece for more room and comfort next are you mate?

ive just bought my second set of Alpinestars GP pros and, well, they fit like a glove! XL
love the things, its like they are broken in first time you put em on. stock grips.
the thing about gloves is its hard to try them on to find your size. around here the shops stock mostly Icon, Joe Rocket, etc. same goes for boots.
it seems you have to order the higher end stuff just to try it on. i lucked out one day because some one else had ordered the Alpinestars and they didnt fit so the dealer still had them.
they fit me so i bought em thats the only way i found my size. i know there are sizing charts but still i like to try em on!
just in case your tempted..... i would avoid knox gloves - i'm on my third warranty replacement pair in the last 5 months. The leather just wears through on the scaphoid protectors or the stitching comes undone on the fingers .......... very comfortable but i'm not sure i would trust them anymore in a fall - have yet to test that particular funtion!?
For grips I'm a fan of pro-grip 714. Keeps the vibes down. They're on all my bikes.
thnx for your replies ppl.
I'll consider all of it.
Had the Knox gloves for over 6 months now and not had an issue and they get worn almost every day! I've got big hands ie XXL normally but the Knox are only XL even though it took a while to wear them in.
Im a xxl too.

For grips, i have the heated grips that KTM supply. They can be bought for less elsewhere but they are much wider than stock, i find them much much more comfy than stock grips which are too narrow imho.

Gloves, im yet to find a decent pair other than my soft winter gloves from HG. Ive been using some Wolf racegloves for over a year but Im a bit fee up with them. Im also looking for something good. Was gonna check the knox ones out, they are very comfy but if they wont last then im not spending that dosh on something that falls apart!
Still love my Icon gloves to bits!!!! 2 years later they are still in fab condition, get worn every ride except when winter is really biting. Been down the track twice and the kangaroo skin laughed at the tarmac and no hint of wear through. Truly are an awesome, awesome glove.
Lee Parks Design Gloves.
I have the Deer Sport and the Deer Tourer in a gauntlet style. You will not have trouble getting a size to fit and will be supporting a bussiness that deserves yours. No extra added tomfoolery bells and whistles, just gloves that a cowboy could show his Pop without getting a chuckle from said.
Goooooooogle away

Worked for Mickey Mouse. He was short with big hands too.

I bought a set of Sidi Powergloves - I love them. They are goat hide - nice and stretchy.
