Default Handlebar Grips Input

I've been looking at hand grips lately, the Nostalgic by HD is what I'm leaning towards.

I see quite a few aftermarket that caught my eye also. I'm wondering what kind of input the forum members have towards a comfortable grip that's decent looking. I'm not interested in anything wild, only comfort and design.

I have the JF nostalgic on my slim. I love them; had them on my last bike as well.

I just went with a set of H-D's Get-A-Grips p/n 56100008.
They're not real fancy but the fatter grip is FAR more comfortable and easier to hold.

I have the HD Nostalgic grips in white. I find them comfortable. I wear black gloves so they do get dirty but clean up easily with Windex.

I like my Isso grips, had them for years and very comfy for me.

+1 for Harley's get-a-grips. I put them on over the winter - huge improvement. I used to get hand cramps after an hour of riding. Did an 8 hour day a couple weekends ago, with no issues. Larger size plus tapered shape (fatter in the middle than on the ends). They make them in 2 sizes, I went with the bigger ones.

I have drag specialty nostalgic grips, they are comfortable and look good plus way cheaper than harleys. No complaints, they were like $25 at my local indy.

thumbs up for harleys nostalgic grip. Hate the mocos factory smooth grip. Switched from them to the nostalgic grip about 4 bikes ago after trying them for the first time its become a mod I've done before doing anything else. Did i mention I love the feel of these grips???

Kuryakyn ISO with throttle boss. I can say I have never had a problem with my hands cramping or any other issue. While i have serious reservations about Kuryakyn parts, the grips are really nice.
