    I am sure it has been discussed before but I was wondering what would be a good grip to buy since I need to replace mine.

    These are occasionally difficult to find, but they are very comfortable.

    They conform to the natural shape of the human hand when it is closed.
    I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, and could not ride for more than an hour before fitting the Granturismo grips.

    Me too. Have them on all 4 of my bikes, including my Norton (for nearly 40 years.)

    A note of caution if looking at genuine NOS Gran Turismos on eBay: they come in a number of different SIZES. Don't accidentally end up with "scooter" or moped grips.
