I'd think twice about grips that are not rubberized. I only say this from experience. I put a pair Battistini grips on a bike once, and they were rough on the hands after riding for awhile. Needless to say they came off pretty quickly. They looked awesome, but i felt every cubic inch through my hands.

Yeah, they look great. But I'd prefer rubberized grips, too. Even though I never ride w/o gloves. But often with grips it's just trial and error. May take a while until you find some combining good looks and good feel.

My grips are all metal. No complaints here. Even when ridding on cold days.

Here's a couple pics of my Breakout with the latest round of mods including the Shotgun Shock installed. I have a pair of Carlini 14" Pist Apes in black waiting to be installed and am shopping some some wheels with a 23" front. I'll post some more pics when the next round is done.

Looking good. Amazing the difference the SS makes on the Breakout. Out of curiosity what mirrors are you going to run with the Carlini? My Burleigh 14" apes arrived today and I still need to wait for my turn signals from Thunderbike but having massive issues working out what mirrors...

Amazing what that air ride does for looks while the bike is parked.

Yeah, it looks pretty wicked slammed. Of course I do not ride like that, but it makes for a good picture none the less. As far as mirrors, I'm stumped like you but am either going to go with a flipped Thunderbike "action fluted" or "action smooth" and a pair of Performance Machine Merc black and chrome grips. I'm also going to be putting led turns on the forks to clean up the bars.
Are you doing the bar end turn signals? I really like that look.

I'm glad it's not just me then! I have gone for the bar end turn signals but need to wait at least two weeks for the grips that go with them. There's always something.... still waiting for my new lines from Magnum as well.

Interested to see what you think of the mirrors once you've got them on. Been looking at some Joker Machine ones as well but happy to keep checking over my shoulder until I find the right set!

All too hard! Looking forward to seeing your next lot of photos.
