One of the first things I do when getting a new bike is change the grips. All were changed to Iso Grips. If I ever buy another bike, it will have new grips within a couple of weeks.

I have the Avon custom contour grips, and they look sorta like this. Been running them about 2 season or so. no problems yet

Seconding the PM grips. You have to check diameter in their charts, but HD grips are app. 1 1/2”, and PMs come in at roughly 1 3/8”.

The difference doesn’t look like much on paper, but with the contouring they feel much smaller. Very comfortable and highly recommend them.

It is hard to tell.
I've owned many bikes. I've bought custom, ISO, vibration etc.

When I put on my 14" apes I went with Small Diameter Harley Grips.
I have "normal" sized hands. Between medium and large.
These feel nice.......hard to tell.

Shop around, they run $15 - $30 for same product. 56100355

Ive had these on two different bikes. The nice thing about these grips, when the rubber wears out, you can replace. Costs about 27.00 per set
