Default New pegs/grips for Sportster...

Thinking of getting some new grips and pegs for my Sporty. What do you guys think of diamond or rail style grips and pegs? I could probably get a good deal on a set on Ebay.

I had the black diamond set before, but as you can see, I've switched the pegs and grips out since. The grips didn't feel right for me. Not as comfortable as I would have liked them to be...and they looked way too bulky on my bars.

Default Buyer Beware

I wouldn't recommend e-Bay for bike parts, probably cant go wrong with pegs and grips as most are multi fit. I bought a Danny Gray stingray hide seat for my sporty that the guy said was from an 07 sporty and would fit my 08. Dead wrong. The seat eas way different shape than mine and could in no way be for any late model sporty. His reply was oh well, the guy I got it from said that's the bike it fits, put it back up for auction and you can double your money. First of all I'm not the kind of ******* that would sell it not being able to tell the buyer what it fits, and second of all I paid $90 for a seat that from the Danny Gray website is $700. I'll take it to a swap meet and find out what it fits.

What kinda helmet is that you're wearing in the pic. Pretty cool.

I had the Harley Diamond grips for about a year then switched to Kuryakyn Widows for pegs and grips,
the diamonds are fine.
The widows look much nicer but took a little while to get used to with extra vibration on the grips, the paddle like pegs are great
