+1 - I had those on the old evo sporty.... that thing used to vibrate so much the mirrors would fall off but the iso grips were very comfortable and eliminated most of the buzzing in the hands - look pretty nice too. Wish I'd gone with them again instead of the cheesey flame ones I paid too much for from Harley.

I've got the Willie G bike so gotta put on some of his bling. My grips of choice are the Aileron b/c they're contoured better than stock. Don't get the numbness in my fingers anymore.

I'm here to admit that I went skull crazy when I got my bike. I was still new to Harleys and was very impulsive without thinking things through. Just to put it out there, I had the derby cover, timing cover, front and rear axle covers, battery band, a/c cover, fuel caps, rider and highway pegs, license plate bolts, valve stem caps, and the sissy bar medallion which was stuck to the electrical cover. The only things to survive were the license plate bolts and valve stem caps but the bolts just came off because they don't look right with my wonderfully huge UK license plate. There was nothing wrong with the stuff, they just didn't fit my overall vision for the bike which took six months to realize and in that six months I bought a lot of skull stuff.

I see quite a few people around here saying they wished they hadn't put all the "Willie G" stuff on their bikes after they had it on there for a while. What are the reasons for that?
I'm also looking to take the stock grips off and put something better looking on. Any good suggestions (I don't want "too much" chrome on them, looking to stay away from them getting slippery)???

I hated the stock grips with a passion! I selected the Nostalgic grips, and am totally satisfied with them.

Does anyone know if there are any aftermarket different collections. As others have mentioned, the skull collection seems over used, and I want to be different. I actually like the flames collection, but the one with the gold flames, not just the plain one. And there does not seem to be much available from that collection. It would be nice if there was aftermarket accessories available with a different selection of styles.
