I have mild arthritis in my hands, and found the addition of "Grip Buddies"
( other makes are available ! ) to be REALLY worthwhile - and inexpensive !
The additional size of the grips when fitted meant my fingers don't have to close as much,
making it much more comfortable, and the cushioning significantly reduced the amount
of "tingling" I used to feel from gripping the smaller stock grips too tightly.
If there is a disadvantage, then it is that heater elements take a little longer to warm up the
extra layer of the Grip Buddy, but for me that was a minor point - they still got warm enough to be effective.
