handgrip rubber too soft

[denviola]

I have heated handgrips installed, were on the UC when I purchased it. These are chrome and rubber, in the diamond plate pattern, and appear to be HD accessories. The left grip rubber part was soft/tacky, and the rubber rubs off on my gloves and smears on the chrome part of the grip. Before looking at replacing wanting to know if anyone with a similar issue had found a solution. Thanks for the read and responses.

I hope you are aware, if these are HD heated grips, you can not buy, just the grip! If yours are like mine, the left grip contains the "thermostat" and the heater control. This comes as an assembly and is the bulk of the price of the complete grip set!
That, however does not solve your problem. Clean the grip with isopropol alcohol. It sounds like something has gotten on the grip and "attacked" the rubber!
