Default Diamond Collection.....Not impressed

I recently put on the Diamond Collection front and rear pegs as well as grips and I'm telling ya looking good is about all they do. The pegs are very slippery especially when wet. The grips are very cold, slippery, and seem much thicker than my stockers. I should have known better. Anyone else agree?

had them on my 06 ultra, and never had a problem like you describe. As for the thickness of the grips, MOST HD Grips come in 2 or 3 sizes, you may have simply gotten a larger size than what you had.

My current ride {08 Ultra) has the Ironside collection on it. I really like these alot, they look awesome.
