Default Get A Grips?

Ordered a pair of Get A Grip grips from Lake Shore and they came in today. I don't know if I like them or not. Instead of soft rubber, they're hard plastic. Doesn't sound like a comfy thing to grip all day. Anyone have these?

Thanks, Ride Safe

I have them and like them. Put them on when I changed to Heritage Style Bars. Mine feel rubbery though, not hard at all.

They felt hard to me too, so I never bought them.
I do know some guys on here that love them, also say they wear gloves.

I bought them and didn't like them so I have a free set. I went with the PM contour.

Love mine. Had them on heritage and got another set for RG. They are a little hard for first ride or too but great after that. Get great grip in pouring down rain and don't get that really obnoxious tacky feel on super hot days.

Don't know what your definition of hard is, but my HD get-a-grips are "solid" built, but comfy. Give them a chance - install & ride a few thousand miles to see if you like them.

Thanks for the replies. I wear gloves anyway so I'm betting they'll be OK. Does anyone know if the left grip on a 2012 is glued on, or is it up under switch clamp?

If they are HD "Get A Grip" no glue required. I have them on my 12 Road Glide and love them. I have rode with them for about 3K miles. I would say if you have smaller hands do not buy the magnum size.

Had them on my softail and had the dealer put them on my new EGC. Like them a lot but I never wear gloves.
