Question Handle bar grips suggestions

I want to change out my grips on my 09 SG. The current ones that the previous owner had installed I don't like and not that comfortable. I'm using the stock bars with TBW and looking for some all black grips. Right now I've looked at Avon, PM and HD "Get-a Grip" grips. The PM grips seem to be the most exspensive. Anyone have any suggestions on which one of these grips to go with? Thanks!

I have had a few different grips, but the best and most comfortable ones I have are the RSD's . They are a little spendy, but again the best I have had

These aren't all-black so they may not appeal to you, but my 07 SG has the H-D "Aileron" grips on it:

I wouldn't have bought them myself, but they came on the bike when I bought it and I've found them to be surprisingly comfy. The ridge trim on the front of the grip really helps to hold the grip in position at various throttle settings without having to squeeze much. They have a nice thumb rest cutout too.

RSD Tracker grips. The PM's and RSD are both Renthal rubber.

Have the Avon Air Cushion (all black ones) and I'm very happy with them. I have previously had the Kuryakyn iso's on my softail and was also very happy with them.

What's the deal with the "Renthal" rubber? Also where do you get the replacement Renthal rubber for the RSD/PM grips? Thanks for the info!
