Grip recommendations?

I'm looking for some gel grips, something to dampen some of the vibration. Any recommendations?

After trying many gel gloves that didn't help at all with numbness.  I tried these:

These helped prevent numbness quite a bit.  The only downside is it makes the grip a bit larger.  Felt weird at first, but I like now that I'm used to them.

What was the cruise control you have on the VFR again?

I run cheap ProGrip 699 gels, but mainly for adhesion on the supermoto moreso than vibration dampening......although my KTM vibes so hard it makes my junk numb :D

This^^^.   Lol

My phone sensor says there's little difference between week old 717s and Today old Foam grips. Slight nod to the foam on Mean but the bike also warmed up a bit and I'm not swapping again to test switched order. I've seen bigger differences with bar weights or bracing,
