I've had the Chrome and Rubber on my last 4 bikes and love them. My parts guy says that the Chrome and Rubber grips are HD's oldest replacement grips.

I used to have those on my EG. I soon learned to hate them. Too small and my bros always called them donkey dicks

I endorse the chrome and rubber grips. I find them real comfortable. Even with gloves.
