Default Which Grip is best

Hey guys was wondering in your opinion which grip, grips the best ? Between Performance Machine elite grip, HD knurled(diamond plated) grip and let's say any HD grip in the style of the tribal one ?

Hopefully your dealership will open the package to let you feel them. Just like a pair of gloves, everyone's hands and preferences are different. So you have to decide which is more important...style or comfort. For example, I had the HD black diamond grips on my Nightster. While they looked good, they did nothing to dampen vibration, and got hot as hell in the summer.

The PM are supposedly made from a "new" compound of rubber for maximum grip and comfort. I went with Ness grips though, preferred the look.

I had the PM grips for the last couple of years and they are a quality grip but I just changed to the Jokers Machine billet throttle tube and radial rubber grips. The radial rubber grips are more comfortable to me than the PM grips and my throttle hand doesn't go numb anymore.

I got a set of kung fu grips from biltwell because my grips were in sad shape and the kung fu's were cheap and local to me. The grips feel great and I have no regrets about the purchase.

i put avon coke bottles on mine. their a smaller diameter and have WAY more grip than the stockers. they perform fantastic for their price. i still get a slightly numb hand but not as bad as the stock one did.
