Our friends at Stromberg Carlson do not offer a replacement foam grip for the grab handle you mentioned.

The good news is that the foam grip is the same type that is used on bike handlebars. The foam tube is an off-the-shelf item that you should be able to find at your local bike repair shop. Getting the foam tube on the handle is a little tricky, but spraying some aerosol hair spray on the metal tubing will act as a lubricant allowing the foam tube to be worked into the desired position. Once the hairspray is dry, it will act as an adhesive, keeping the grip in place.
