Where’a a good source for the beemer grips? Any recommendations?

Yep, the BMW dealer.

I'm another fan of BMW sport grips. First mod to every bike I've had since 1996.

My right hand begins to cramp on longer rides when gripping the thin standard bar grips on my ST1300. I once had Kuryakyn Iso Grips on another bike, and those helped this same issue. Does anyone have recommendations for thicker grips they like that fit these bikes? I might try raising the handlebars at some point, but I don’t think bar height is the issue. Only my right hand starts to cramp up. Not the left. Otherwise, seating posture feels fine.

Thanks for any recommendations!

I had the same issue on my GL1800 and switched to Add On Accessories comfort grip, which I'm probably going to on the new to me 1300. If I remember right, these were about $80

Something else that you can try is tennis racket handle wrap. You can put as many layers on as you like. Lasts a long time. Several different brands available. Local sporting goods stores usually carry it.

I wrapped mine with tennis racquet tape and that made them just large enough.

This has worked for me on several bikes over the years. I like the gel type to reduce vibrations and it's fairly sticky (relative to foam grips) so you don't have to grip as hard to keep the throttle in place.

If you want to go that way you might check Kuryakyn too.

Hate kuryakyn...chrome flakes too easily.

I don't know where you are in Virginia, but I got mine at Mortons BMW in Fredericksburg. A superb dealership with a customer base up and down the East Coast. https://www.mortonsbmw.com/

I just put a set of Grip Puppies on and remain uncertain. I'll give them a few more weeks but I think I may end up pulling them off as my throttle hand starts to get numb and tingle. The Oxford grip heaters work just fine through them though.
