I've always been a fan of the PM's. I run the RSD tracker grips which are basically the same as the PM Renthal's and they are great.

I'm telling you, try the HD Getagrip regular or magnum. Imo by far the best balance of "gumminess" and clean looks

I know it's'different for everyone but any of you guys has been running both and felt his hand less numb with one or another (comparing PM elite grip and HD get a grip)

I'm thinking the HD get-a-grip hand grips are a small project I'm going to do this winter. Heard lots of good things about them. Although I like the stock grips fine, these appear to be functional and look good at the same time.

I run Avons right now but the metal keeps discoloring on me.

Arlen Ness just came out with a full line of cool looking grips, good price too

had the PM grips for the last year and thought they were just ok. The diameter felt a bit small for my hands so i got the HD get a grips larger size, they feel way more comfortable. Very happy with them.

I have the PM's on my Dyna. 8000 miles and the rubber is starting to wear out. However they make replacement rubbers. The grips are super comfortable and the right size for my paws.

I have Arlen Ness Soft Touch Smooth Black Billet Grips. Good feel and I like the look. Here's a pic.

That is the biggest priority, right there. I have pretty big hands, but I still like smaller diameter grips, probably from the years with sport bikes.(hated the Kury ISO Zombies that came on it). Went with the RSD Trackers and have no complaints.
Try out several in store if you can!

While they looked good, they did nothing to dampen vibration, and got hot as hell in the summer.
I've had the Black Diamond grips on my 2009 Fat Bob since the beginning, and I love the way they look and feel. Neither vibration nor heat have been problems.
