Personally, I like thinner grips. I raced off-road for many years and my first Harley had those fat foam grips. It felt like I was holding on to beer cans and at high speeds my hands and fingers got fatigued from trying to hold on. I went with the thinnest grips I could find and my fingers wrapped around them much better. By the way, my hands are size XL.

I prefer my grips to be thin and my hand controls to be as thin and smooth as possible. Leather is nice, but I don't let it interfere with my grips or hand levers.

 

$16.95 vs $50-80 for fancy grips that are going to wear out anyway? Easy decision. Not a fan of the fringe style though.

 

ghetto would be chrome booby tassels, these are just plain trailer imo....(no offense to people that live in a trailer)

 

I have leather covers on my stock grips. no tassles though

 

Not a fan of tassles on bike or strip bars. I would think the leather would be kind of cruddy feeling when wet. IMO
