When I posted my first reply, I mentioned that I currently have "real" foam grips but would consider pipe insulation when they finally fall apart. Since that time, I have thought more about the exact issues you described above and have concluded that I should do some more research before I pop on some foam insulation and ride away.
My assumption is that it would have to be a tight fit and would have to be further secured with some hairspray or adhesive. But, hmmm, how would that effect the chemical composition of the foam
