Default New grips = best money spent.

Had the OE grips on my '10 Fat Bob. They were well-worn (read - "slick"). Agonized over all the sparkly shiny ones at the local dealer - and at Kuryakyn. After all the agony, bought a set of the all black HD "Get a Grip" (PN 56100008).

All I have to say is why the heck did I wait? Tremendous improvement in grip and no more of the occasional hand-cramp. Guess I was having to hold on too tight.

"Just do it"

I'm in the middle of bar swap/TS relocate and I have those grips in the tool box getting ready to go on, I think they are going to be great! Gonna be much more comfortable then the stockers.

Hell, I think HD would do good if they made them OEM!

Stock grips were the first thing to go within my first 100 miles. So far Im happy with the Kury ISO grips.

There are actually 2 different sizes - regular and for you hand-endowed guy, the "magnum" size. Seriously.

I got the regular ones as I have small hands - they seem to be about the same diameter as stock in the center and a tad smaller at each end - but I'm not certain about that because I didn't measure them.

No more slippage and I have a much more relaxed grip on the bars.
