Question Old School Grips

Thinking about running these grips on the Road King. Anyone have these and have any issue with them. Im putting them on full chrome front end so i wanna make sure they will look ok. Pics would be great if u have them.



Thanks
Josh

I have them and dnt like them.. The recessed part stays dirty.. They r sticky in the summer.. They are more comfortable than my old billet ones but just barely

I could really give a puck about how they look.. I own 5 HD style bikes and they all have this grip.. You can get em from Jireh cheap tho.

I find mine quite comfortable, and not sticky. I'll have to check; I'm not sure what brand they are.

cficole...that would be great if you could. Harley wants $70 for them. Not terrible but a little steep for grips. Im sure someone makes them cheaper

Many like the thinner coke bottle shape . I do. HD offers some like that but has a better grip surface. I have had thse on to touring bike with a lot of miles.
Hands will be a lot more comfortable with them

I probably won't see my bike until Tuesday. I figure mine are either H-D or Drag Specialties. I seem to recall that DS makes one that looks the same. I bought the bike used, and they were on it.

Here's one place: https://www.denniskirk.com/drag-spec...prd/596574.sku

Drag Specialities DS-0630-0594, $29.95.

Just replaced a set on the EG. Nice old school look. The ribbing helps you grip better and the coke bottle design fits your hand well. I changed to Avon air grips for the grip-ability factor they have. I also love the way the left side fits inside your switch housing and locks in solid. No glue required.

Just put a set on my RoadKing, like the way they feel.

Only a little over 100 mi with them so time will tell.

They are called "Nostalsia" grips. I had them on my Road Kings for years and they are absolutely great, even on long trips. If the like the looks, the performance will definitely not disappoint!
