Default Opinion on grips, please.

Have the stock, hard as a rock grips on my bike. Just not comfortable. I'd like 'em to look great, but feel is what's important. Appreciate any thoughts.

Check out Avon. Great value for the price and easy install.

Avon does make a good grip. I've had a few and like 'em.

I'm running HD Get A Grip magnum now and very happy with them.

+2 on the get a grip. Had them on my heritage and RG, wife also has them on her fat boy. Great in the heat (plenty of grip but not the sticky/tacky feeling) and in the rain (plenty of grip with or without gloves).

Great grips. Like the contour and grip surface. Larger than stock. I have the magnum ones. Not sticky and to thin like the stock ones. I have medium sized hands.

A lot of choices out there. Go to your local dealership and "hands on" try their showroom grips or grips on bikes. I personally like the feel of the HD aileron grip.
Take your time and make your ride your own.
