Default Grips Grips Grips

Post a review of the grips you use on your sporties. Did you pick them for looks or comfort?

I have the black kuryakan ISO grips. My thumb into my hand (clutch hand) was hurting pretty bad after about 100 miles yesterday. I did have my bigger winter gloves on but I think I might need to go back to a smaller grip.

Reviews, pics, any info on anything to do with grips. Please feel free to add.

Thanks.

Hippy Killer clear metal flake grips! Bought for the looks and not the comfort. They are a fairly hard rubber material, but I wear gloves when I ride and dont care if they are comfortable or not. I love them though!

I have the narrow band grips and pegs. I really like them. Usually don't wear gloves and don't have a problem with discomfort. I do notice my feet sliding on the pegs when it's wet out there.

I saw these online. Do they have any without the chrome ring and do they compare to the size of stock grips?

I'm running the Nash Vintage Grip (can't remember who makes them but you can pick them up everywhere).

They're super comfy and narrow. They give good grip. They come in black, red, white and natural.

I ran the HD Nostalgia grips on my mini apes and they were good too...a bit big for my hands though.
