I have the retro grips from Harley and was going to switch to these.. Rode a buddy's bike with them and decided to keep my retro grips.

Cool

I just got the Get-a-Grips today on my Forty-Eight and road about 50 miles on them.

I am missing three fingers on my left hand so I have to clutch with my wrist. I had the Silencer Grips installed -- and while they looked so badass, my hand kept slipping off when I shifted.

I went with the chrome ends (actually didn't know they had all black ones) -- and the regular size. They come in a larger, Magnum size. I am digging the way they look, but more importantly the grip is great.

Course, the all black ones look kickass too....probably best if I don't hear that they would look better : )

I just replaced my 3 year old Chrome and Rubber grips with the Chrome Get a Grips. They feel fine but I really wish I'd bought a new set of Chrome and Rubber instead. Oh, well, in another 35,000 miles I will.

Have had them for 2000 miles. Like them a lot. They have a slight give which imporves (well) the grip. Appreciate them in the rain as well.

Put the magnum sized grips on the RK. Very comfortable on a couple of all-day rides. They have some cushioned effect and are very "grippy". The slight palm swell is just right for my hands (glove size is Large). They are much more comfortable than the stock grips and are more comfortable than the nostalgia grips.
