Has anyone installed the Diamond Grips and foot controls?
THey look really cool, but they seem like they wouldn't be that comfortable....Not much there to absorb vibrations?

I use the grips, I always wear gloves when I ride so they are fine for me. The pegs my feet kept slipping off so I changed to joker machine pegs.

I run the grips also, used to run the kury ISO grips, I can't tell much of a difference and the black diamond grips look much better IMO.

I changed to diamond grips, footpegs, and shifter as soon as I got my bike home so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I commute 75 miles every day on my bike and it's not uncomfortable or anything. I do wear gloves which probably makes a big difference. I like em. just my $.02

I have the black diamond grips, pegs and shifter. Costly but I think that they all look great together and I have no comfort issues at all with the pegs.

I have a set of small diameter Black Diamond Foot Pegs and the Shifter Peg that I am not using. I had them on the bike for two weeks and decided to go with the Tribal Theme. The foot pegs cost me $79.00 and the shifter peg was $18.95. If you are interested send me a private message and make a reasonable offer...would like to see someone use them.

Had those grips on a while now.look great..wear in after a while,as in the black wears off ..I ride in most weathers here in sweden and found they're not so good in winter..cold and with thick gloves the throttle tends to slip..not much grip with cold hands lol..even tho' I like 'em I'm fitting HD's Nostalgic style grips very shortly.

I like these much better. Diamond grips are good looking, but, your gripping a hard surface vs soft one.

I have the whole diamond setup on my bike. And my only complaint is that the paint is wearing off my left peg and shifter. Other than that love them.
