Unhappy Leather Grips for TBW?

I hate the factory grips. Hated them on the '96 Road King and still hate them on the '10 Street Glide. In the past I used MoCo leather grips, but they don't have them for the newer throttle by wire setup. Checking the aftermarket I can't find any leather grips for TBW! Hopefully somebody here has found some.

Currently running some MoCo rubber grips and they are better than stock (did I mention that I hate the stock grips), but still not great. I have big paws and these grips are too small and the rubber is kinda gooey. Love the feel of leather and hoping to find some, or even some covers that don't include fringe or sprinkles.

FWIW, you could wrap your current grips in leather.

Visit someplace like Golfsmith for the leather...even comes in different patterns and colors.

Hrlyrider turned me on to them. I love them and have gotten many compliments and questions on where I got on them. They are fatter and cushier than stock. Come in many different styles and colors. I bought the braided laser red to match the bike. Easy to install. Took them a few weeks to make mine but worth the wait. I called to order them to make sure they knew they were for TBW.
