Switchback Grips?

Want to change out the stock grips on the new Switchback to cut down on the vibration. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Used the HD Nostalgic grips on my Nightster and have heated ones now on my SB. My vibration level wasn't really troublesome, but these reduce it, most in the catologue have metal surfaces and they certainly would seem to make vibes worse.

I used performance machine grips that are actually a "smaller" diameter than stock and then poly bushings in the risers when i changed the bars. My grips are in my albums under first mods. I had never used a smaller grip before or even thought about it because I have fairly large mits, but surprisingly i love em. How many miles do you have on it so far? Are you sure it's a handlebar thing instead of just a breaking in issue?
