Notorious problem, particularly if you have heated grips. Several aftermarket grips will fit. I use Kuryakin Isogrips personally

I'm curious if you had the plain stock grips, or the Triumph heated grips?

You're NOT THE FIRST heated grip failure. Common enough. Something is definitely wrong with the plastic; when heated it becomes brittle.

Had the Kuryakyn grips. After a while they got slippery.
Found these to be way better:

Just about ALL M/C throttle tubes are. They thus have less friction against steel bars and being softer will not damage the steel. If you get a CNC tube- MAKE SURE THEY ARE DELRIN (or similar) LINED. Harley throttle tubes WILL FIT.

The Avon grips I have just fitted are very grippy, btw.
