One minor comfort problem I've had with the Vision is the hand grips being small. That often causes my finger to get numb or my wrist to hurt some. I always wanted to get larger grips but being there is nothing wrong with mine and I can usually tolerate the minor discomfort I never changed them out. I also always wondered about the leather sheaths that can be put over them so today I gave it a shot. My left grip was looking rather worn so this also covers that up. Bingo, larger grip and very comfortable, though I need to long ride test them, the short ride home I was very pleased. I need to retrain my muscles for the levers as this changes the dynamics and the lace seems to be in the way a little, but I think i can work all that out in time.

Try doing a google search for "grip puppies". I ordered a pair last year and find them very comfortable. More widely available is the US than up here in Canada.

These also limit the wear on the heated grips which are expensive to replace.

Thanks Kenandpen, they look good and at the cost that is easily replaceable. That is mainly my concern as the grips with 66,000 on them are looking rather smooth....

There are 2 sizes, for 7/8" handlebars & ones for Honda Goldwings

Which ones did get for the Vision?
