ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle handlebar hand grip has a hollow cylindrical body with a first, open end and an opposing, second end, which may be open or closed, and an annular flange projecting radially outwards at the first, open end. In order to prolong its useful life as regards wear by a rider's hand, and also improve comfort and vibration damping, the body has an external surface which is formed with projections and which tapers from adjacent the flange to adjacent the second end. The taper is achieved by the projections progressively decreasing in height from adjacent the flange to adjacent the second end. The base area of the respective projections may also progressively decrease in size from adjacent the flange to adjacent the second end.
