Looking for over sized grips...?
Not sure if I'm calling them the right thing or not But I have a 05 FXD that I just put a new set of bars on & would like to find a bigger size grip. Right now I have the factory ones. I have rather large hands so Id like something more to grab onto.
(make your jokes else where)
As always thanks.

The vintage "rubber" grips that come with the chrome ring are actualy larger in the middle. This is kind of a palm swell. You can get a set from H.D. or try some from a cataloJ comPany at a lower price. 1/2 hr install with a star/allen socket set.

I haven't measured them, but the Harley padded grips (about $50 retail) look fatter than stock. The Performance Machine "Contour XL" grips are for sure larger, but expect to pay the "PM tax" for them (about $150 retail).

I put on a set of Kuryakyn Iso grips. They are bigger than stock and really help to stop the buzzy hands too. quite satisfied---jack

I have the HD Foam Grips with the chrome rings at both ends and the loge on the end caps. I'd say they're about 1 1/4" diameter. I love them. Had them for years now. My buddy, who's got huge hands saw them and went that day to get a pair. He love's them too. Attached are pics of the grips before and after I changed my bars.
Those are the Harley ones I was referring to. Do the end caps rotate, or do just you have to be a good aim on the left (glued) side?
