I got some foam ones from Wilko - can't fault them for £1.99.
May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: really comfy long grips ??
The 'best' I have found is Chromag Clutch at 150mm overall.
Good grips and work well on JLoops.
They do not work with bar ends as the outer clamp is a disc with a slot.
Other than that Clarks from Halfords.
It would be really useful if you could search by grip length.

£20 but you get 2 sets? Split a pack with you maybe, I keep thinking of trying them on loop bars. I have some original Grab-On MTB grips from the early 90s still and they've done a few years on a couple of bikes.
There's a 1.5mm dia difference between flat and drop bars but I expect a layer of liner tape would sort that for flat bars.

Another vote for ODI Longnecks.
Re: really comfy long grips ??
I've got a spare set of Clarks foam grips I could put in with the Richey bars?
