So I’m looking for some different hand grips for my s40, I do really like the looks of these ones but I can seem to find them anywhere ? Aren’t all grips usually universal tho or am I wrong ?

Most grips used to fit 22mm or 7/8 bars
Left side fit direct on the handlebar and right side was 1 inch to fit over throttle sleeve.
Bigger motorcycles are now using bigger diameter bars.
Beware of grips for quads as they are the same size both sides.

I think Kuryakyn has made those for decades. Available with or without heat. I suspect knockoffs will be a lot cheaper. What size bar is handlebar (7/8" or 1")? Kuryakyn's webpage is pretty good but they don't appear to have 2008 S40 as a filter.
 
I tried Kuryakyn grips. Didn't like the feel. I have used Grip Puppies on a couple bikes and been very happy with them.
 
Well right now the bike has red grips with sparkles in them lol bike has factory bars which I believe are 1”
Hoping to find some good comfy ones, factory grips I’ve seen are 160$ for the pair
 
So does any grip the right diameter and length fit then ? Or do I need to get ones that have my bike listed for “fitment” ??
 
Doubt your S40 uses 1" grips if it's on the original handlebar. Should be 7/8" grips. If your bars are original, best to ask on a Suzuki S40 group to double check... my assumption is 7/8".

Ok. As long as you measured the part under the existing grips, and not the parts in between which may be thicker. Then you can go ahead and order the 1.086" grips and let us know how it works out.
 
Well I actually found a OEM ones new on a site from Alberta for about 90$ for the two and the caps. Didn’t think that was too bad plus they’re better then the goofy red sparkly ones lol
