Default Grips question

Not much information on grips out there surprisingly.

Yes there are alot of funky shiny ones in all sorts of styles. I don't care about that.

What do those of you that do long-distance riding use for handlebar grips? Stock ones seems hard and the Kury Iso ones are actually terrible. Any other suggestions? Preferably without the vertical ribs of the Kury ones?

On my old bike I had grips that got to a larger diameter in the middle, and they were super comfy. Really am looking for another set of something like that.

I wasn't a fan of the Kury Iso's either, but Kury does have the Transformer line that may interest you. I picked those up and also added the Throttle Bosses. Made a 4400+ mile run a few weeks ago, never once a cramp or sore hands/fingers.

I have the Performance Machine Contour XL on my Night Train. I like them because they are fatter than stock, so you don't have your hand closed in as tight a circle.


It sounds like the ones you described might be similar to the H-D Nostalgia grips:

Fantastic grips. Avon also makes an air cushioned grip kind of like the Kury.

Uhhh....Yeah there is. All sorts of threads have been started on this topic. You just need to sift through them. Good luck.

FWIW I'm currently running the Custom Contours by Avon. They're the best grips I've had to date.
