Default Hand grips and foot pegs ..Ideas???

I,m looking to swap out my 07 Low Rider stock grips and foot pegs .
There are so many out there its hard to decide ..
The main consern I have on the hand grips is comfort .
My hands get a little kumb after abought 100 miles or so .
I ,d like something softer but easy to grip .
Also on the pegs has anyone had a bad set such as feet slipping off them when they get wet ??
Any ideas would be great ,

For grips, Kuryakyn ISO's or Performance Machine Renthals.

I used to rock kury iso grips and pegs. They were comfortable, but the grips were kinda fat. I actually just went back to the stock grips and pegs for more of a plain look.

I have heard that PM renthals are the best grips you can get. If I wasn't cheap I would have gotten those.

The hands going numb is not the grips themselves, it's the angle of the grips/handlebars. My stock bars put my hands to sleep all the time....

PM renthal rubber. I have em in gloss black on the bob, but they have them with chrome ends for Lowriders which sometimes have more bling. Excellent feel of control.

PM renthals, feels like a dirt bike, great feel, 80 bucks all the time on ebay. Pegs, just get somethin your boots won't slide off, which is why I use knurled pegs.

Same here...I'm trying to prioritize my mods. I'll probably break down and pick up a set in the next couple months...my ride to work is about to get a lot longer.

I went with HD Nostalgic grips and am insanely happy with them. Really grip and comfortable for the long haul. I HATE the stock grips, too narrow and never felt in control.

I've stuck with stock foot pegs. They've been just fine.

Do the PM Renthals feel like the billet grips with thin rubber inserts ?

I do not care for the fat rubber HD grips or ISO grips.
