Has anyone tried the memory foam Avon grips? If not them, does anyone have any recommendations for an older guy with a bad throttle hand? I've looked at adding the "paddle" to the throttle, but I'm unsure if it would be a nuisance when city riding.
Have you looked in our Accessories Area? Info there may be of help.

I bought some of these several years ago and really like them. They aren't TOO "puffy" and not TOO hard.

It was a little different, at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly. A lot depends on where you adjust the paddle. Too high, and it will be a problem, too low and it's not effective.
