I was looking at those same grips when I had my R6 and am still considering them for the VFR. Yes, they do look cool. I think they're gel, which might help in the comfort area a little. Keep me posted if you do get them. I'd like to know what you think of them.
If you do end up getting them, PM me for a 10% discount code for New Enough. I bought some stuff from them last month, but don't think I'll have a use for the discount before it expires Nov. 5.
