Default Grips? So many to choose from....

I want to upgrade my OEM grips on my '13 Heritage for something just a bit more comfortable -
There are hundreds of different grips out there which makes it confusing - can somebody recommend something that is a decent upgrade that won't break the bank?

Thanks

Performance Machine Contour grips.
Renthal rubber on the barrel, black that doesn't fade in the sun and a slightly lesser diameter than the stock grips.
They last very well. The initial investment is perhaps more than most, but they can carry over from one bike to another.

H-D nostalgia grips and 'get a grip' magnums. I've had both and are very comfortable especially if you have larger hands.

I went with Avon Custom Contour grips since I loved them so much on my last bike. You can get them for a great price on Amazon.

Edit-> should have mentioned that (just like the PM grips) replacement rubber is available for these should it wear out.

Great thing about these grips, is when you finally put some good wear on the rubber sleeve, you can get replacements and easy to change.

I just went with the standard HD "Get-A-Grips".
The biggest benefit I found with these was just how much more relaxed my hands were due to the fatter grip.

+1 for the Harley Get-A-Grips, for the same reason.

Have had ISO grips for 4 years and they still leave black crap on my hands. Would not suggest them.
