Default RSD Tracker vs HD Get-a-grip

Can anyone recommend one over the other? Biggest differences? Essentially, are the RSD pieces worth the extra funds? If it matters, going chrome. TIA!

Looks like the same grip for both. Both could be from the same manufacturer with their own brands on them.
I have the Get a Grips and like them.

Love the get-a-grips. I had them on my Fatboy and just put a set on the glide.

I got the PM contours, hope the RSD's fit better on the throttle side than the PMs do. I went with the PM's cuz they were metal instead of plastic like the Get-a-Grips, and my last set of HD grips the chrome didnt last too long on the plastic.

RSD's are the best grip I have ever had. Worth the extra bucks

I just put on the black Get a Grip, nothing to compare them to but the stock grips. I wear an XL glove and wanted a larger diameter grip, I was considering performance machine, but at $150 for the large diameter ones, I went with H D and am very satisfied with the choice.

RSD is a division of PM. I compared a couple PM grips fit on the tbw side, they all have the same loose fit. I did slide the switch housing in to take up as much end play as possible but the rattle from diamiter differance does suck.

The rattle does suck for sure.

Has anyone had the get-a-grips for a while? I've been using black RSD tracker grips and they're far from black now. Purple / Brown.

I'm hoping that the get-a-grips don't have the same crappy paint/anodize on them.
