I would like to change the rubber hand grips to something more comfortable. Does any grip fit on my 05 LT?

Never looked at aftermarket so can't help you there...if you are wanting something with larger diameter, try adding grip puppies or even tennis racket/bike handlebar tape...cheap and also prevents wear of originals. If you have heated grips and want to keep them that way, you will have to do surgery to remove them without messing them up 'lectrics.

Equally inexpensive may be 'O' rings. I bought a bag of 64 of them for $15 in Denver at the IBA National Meet. They are very comfortable.

The o rings can be gotten from Excel Cycle Werkes (309) 244-7405. He is a machinist who makes a lot of stuff for the GS as well. Some of his stuff is featured in MCN this month on adding farkles to an R12GS.

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for but I installed these over my stock grips on my R11RT and have been happy with them. They do add thickness which may or may not be an issue for you. They also affect the heated handgrip operation in that it takes longer for the heat to be felt at my hands.
