better grips

i immediately want to change the grips on the bike when i get it, does anyone have an suggestions for a comfy grip? price doesnt really matter too much. Also, does the electrical system in the lifan have enough extra juice for heated grips and/or more powerful headlights?

try grab-on brand grips, I haven't used anything else in 20 years on my bikes. cut the stock ones off, and either use hairspray to lube em up to put them on, or the nossel for the airline if you have a bigger compresor. the plain black ones with the black plastic end caps I think are comfy and you have a great grip. get about 15-20 thousand miles outta them on my baggers.

I've heard some guys tell me that Spidergrips http://www.spidergrips.com work pretty well. I plan to try them when I need them need new grips on one of my bikes.
