Ever consider a cover?

I use these on my HDs. Not cause I'm wearing out my grips but because they are comfortable and I like that they increase the girth of the grip as well. (quit you perves)

Very frequently... 20 to 30 hours.

Roughly translates to about 1000mi MAX. Depending on my average lap speed.(and track length)
