Default Avon Air or Kurry ISO Grips?

Is there anyone that has experience with both. I need new grips and have experience with the ISOs and liked them. What about the Avon grips? The same, better or worse than the Kurry ISOs?

I have both.... I have run the iso grips on my Softail for 6 years now and have liked them fine.... I have the Avons on my Roadking and like the feel of them better than the Kurys.... they are the only grips I have ever had that I can ride all day without gloves..... but the Kurys still look like they did when they were new and the Avons have worn smooth in several spots in only 1600 miles....... hope this helps....

Yeah, yeah, I can read...l don't have any experience with the Avon grips, but my ISO grips still look like new even after 15,000 miles and leaving my bike outside 99% of the time no matter what the weather decides to do. The throttle boss is a must have addition to the grips no matter which you go with...IMHO.

I have had both. I prefer the Avons In the long run they are more comfortable when not wearing gloves. My hands dont sweat as much either. ( because of the textured rubber)

Had Iso's on my Heritage and Avons on my Road King. Like both but if I had to choose I'd pick the Avons. YMMV

Not to side track, but just put a set of the new Get-a-grip from HD on my Ultra. These are the best grips I have ever had. Works great with gloves and are well shaped. I looked at both sets your looking at & went with the HD's.
