nothing could be slimmer than the stock grips,the rubber is onlt about 1/8 inch thick. JRK5892 is right , and i think that's the only way you will get an actual thinner grip.

Nostalgic are NOT slimmer; I got those because the stock were too slim for me. I hated the stock passionately.

+1 on the PM renthals for diameter, quality and kickass style.

+1 on that.
Your not going to get grips any smaller than the diameter of your bars. And like maddghost said, the stock grips are about as thin as your gonna get.

The only way to get smaller diameter grips, is to go with a smaller diameter bar.

I got the AVON brand PM Renthal clones and they definitely seem slimmer. They have a slightly curved profile that your palm cups nicely too.

I stuck my head in the dealer yesterday and checked, and a new Low Rider definitely has slimmer grips than a new Super Glide. I don't know if that has to do with the bars or not, but they also feel harder, so I assume it's just a different grip.
