2. I've never tried hand-grips but I do wonder whether they would compromise throttle control or whether they would make it easier to gauge

Pan, if you get the correct ones,thats the ones that sit under your std grips,you wouldnt even know they were there,so it is no compromise to throttle control at all,in fact if it farkin freezing and you cant feel your pinkies,they are definately a bonus well worth having.but then if you are one of these riders that only rides in warm fine weather,then forget it.

I think you are talking about heated grips, whereas the others were talking about sponge grips.

Let's not get confused here!
