I have a 2008 Vivid Black Nightster and I am thinking of replacing my grips with the red or white coke bottle grips. I have my bike set up like a old school Bike. I have 14in Apes and wanted to hear from people who have them (any draw backs)or what people think of them. The reason I am thinking Red is that I have added the red pin strip to the black rims. I am still on the fence. If you have picture of what they look like on your bike please post. Thanks

Yeah I think the grips would look nice. In my opinion your bike could use a little color. I think red and black look great together. Maybe a little red pin striping or something to tie in the red. White looks good but it will get dirty. I've never used those grips but I think they look cool.

I have red coke bottles on my "72" and love them. No complaints at all.

If you can't see it then, go to Home Depot and get roll of red and white electric tape and wrap them and then decide which you like, do what you like. White will get dirty pretty fast is my opinion here.
