Default Advice/Opinions on New Grips (Kuryakyn Black ISO)

So after a few hundred miles of riding... I'm noticing my hands going numb about an 30 mins into my ride and because of this i've been looking to upgrade my grips...

I've currently been thinking of going with the Kuryakyn Black ISO Grips with the Contoured Throttle Boss.

Anyone have any advice on choosing grips or opinions on the ones listed above?

I'm riding a 2013 48 (XL1200X), and I do wear leather gloves.

Thanks in advance for any advice or opinions left.

Oh, I'm also looking at getting the matching hardware for the forward controls to just finish the look... Of course this would be relative on the above as well. Just trying to keep a similar theme going.

ISO grips are very comfortable. Only issue as far as I'm concerned is that if you don't wear gloves of some sort, your hands will smell of rubber.

Never had the rubber smell issue. I enjoyed mine so well that after the wreck I had to buy new grips and pegs. I went back with those except in chrome. I don't have that throttle boss but would recommend those grips.

Have had the ISO grips on my bike for about 5 years and I'll always use these grips!

I've had the ISO grips on several bikes. My only issue with them is that the rubber melts in hot temps. It might only be a problem here in Phoenix though...

I switched to Avon Air Cushion grips and I like them much better.
