Yes. the Kuryakyn ISO grips are awesome. My neighbor has them on his Intruder and I tried them out. Wow. I also tried a co-workers Harley with the Kuryakyn Flame Grips. They were nice too. Really dampens the vibration. Makes our stock grips look and feel shabby.

I think the model number Kuryakyn ISO that fits our S40 is the 6240. Haven't bought a set yet, but I plan to do it after I install my Sigma 1160L computer.

Good luck.

Actually, hands that smell like rubber might be a feature. Sometimes I rub my hands over the tires, splash a little gas on my wrists and then rub some oil on my my face before I walk into a biker bar. Benefit is that everyone thinks I own a Harley and I fit right in. Grin

I would never go back to the orignal size now. They are not fancy but they soak up a lot of vibration. $8.20 and free shipping is hard to beat. California Sport Touring Inc. Marine5317

I decided to take a shot at the Grip Puppies as well. Figured, what's $8 if they are easy to install and work well. If they didn't work I'd try the ISO's. Well, just got them yesterday. Installation took literally 2 minutes. Cut to length with regular scissors, put a little soapy water inside and they just slipped right over my stock grips. Let them dry completely then went for a ride. They feel nice, look good and work great. Did not feel they were slipping or anything. Really cuts down the vibration and fits my hand much better. Good recommendation!

I have the grip puppies too and when i trimmed mine, I left them a bit long so that they could grip onto the end cap. now I can take my hand off the throttle and keep the same speed. It's not as good as a cruise control but it gives you a few seconds to relax your wrist or scratch something before you start to slow down. The only problem with this is that when i first got them, I didn't glue my end cap on, and the twisting motion of the grip twisted the end cap right off somewhere along the road. I got a replacement end cap and glued it on.
