Foam grips? No way for me,they seem to get looking bad very quick.Personally like the looks of stock grips.

Had the HD Nostalgic grips installed over the winter. Love 'em...nice and comfy; they fit my hands better 'cuz they're a little larger diameter. I like the heavy groove to the grip, as well.

Very happy with my PM Rhenthol (sp?) grips, though I wonder about long term durability.

I just put HD stealth grips on my bike. In the package they just look OK, but once they were on my drag bars they really lok sharp!

Chrome grips with no rubber inserts. I went with the HD knurled grips. I kept having to replace my grips over the rubber deteriorating. Now I just replace gloves when they get worn out. I would not put any other grip on now. I came close to putting leather grips on but they were too bulky for my taste.

The Nostalgic grips are the most comfortable I've ever had. Fit your had just right. Might get a little black on your hands when they get wet in a rain storm. (Guess I could wear fingerless gloves) but I don't. And I don't wear leather pants.

GEEEZ! This is a thread on grips. Why mention fingerless gloves /leather pants / azzless chaps / whatever???

(Yes this is the same guy who got chewed out for starting an AZZless chapsthread and learned his lesson. Now I know why every one got testy with me)

BTW -GAGIRL - Thanks again for the cheeky pics on that one

I like knurled grips, like the checkering on a 1911.
