Yep..... those were priced right and most certainly would have helped with cramping/tingling hands.

thanks for the reply,

Well, my vote is for the Iso Grips.
Used them for 30K on my Fat Boy, and they still look great.
They are the first thing I installed on my RG.
Confortable when dry & secure when they are wet.

To me, they are well worth the money.

The Harley Aileron grips have been on almost every Harley I've owned since they came out. Very comfortable and I like the look they give.

Thanks for the replies so far. Still looking for someone who has experience with Kapscomoto.....

Doesnt look like Kapscomoto works with the newer TBW bikes. Don't know the year on your Ultra, but if its newer, they don't have anything for it.

Personally, i wouldn't use them. They look like cheap garbage that you'll end up replacing in a year or less due to chipped "chrome" and broken plastic.

PM Renthals are really good. They are more like a sport bike or motocross feel grip. They don't feel like the "Fisher Price" super big grips rather more performance feel.

I wanted to keep my heated grips but wanted something larger, I wrapped mine with black 1/4 inch black leather and tied them up wit blue leather to match the color, I have had to retighten, nature of leather, but the they are so comfortable and the heat will still work if I need it, which I really dont being away form the bike most of the year, but I got spit of time last October came home to ride and man I was happy I had the heat in the puppies.

Those grip puppies are nice, but I can't afford that big $11 price tag...I went to Walmart and bought one of them there jump rope thinga ma bobs in the fitness section and took the foam off of the handles and put em over my stock rubber grips...same thing as grip puppies..but for $6...love em.
