P.S. on the PM grips. The rubber portion of the grips are replaceable. Took all of 10 minutes with no tools of any kind.

I paid $29 for a set of replacements. The originals lasted just shy of 3 yrs.

I went with the Nostalgic Grips and Floorboards on My Bike, but it is all in choice and what you are comfartable with.

I went with Nostalgics on my FLHX, they're a little more round and when compared to the Grand Turismo grips I had on my Guzzi they'll do just fine for the long haul and they look, ahhhh
Nostalgic

Nostalgic's all the way man, no contest, the rubber stripes on the chrome and rubber will want to tear and come off, at least on the ones I had, my bro has the Nostalgic one's and they are comfy, comfy and look great. JMO, and I have Pm grips and love them with the Renthal rubber!!!

I had both on my bike at different times and prefer the look AND feel of the chrome and rubber. The larger grip is very nice and the grip is great, rain or shine.
