Kung Fu's. You can cut your old grip off your throttle sleeve and slide these right on. No need to get a new sleeve. I always cut some length off the ends of any bars I run, so I usually wind up cutting a little off the grip too.
I've ran Biltwell, Avon Old School, Baxter, and these Motogrips http://motogrip.net/motogrip/#/motogrip/?page_id=228
They're all pretty good. The Biltwell Kung-Fu grips are my least favorite, but only because they get very sticky in the hot sun. The Baxters, in my opinion, are the best of the MX style because the material is hard enough to not twist or flex.
My favorite from all four are the Motogrips. They are made of a silicone gel material that is soft to the touch, but provide a great grip with or without gloves.
Keep in mind though, the Baxter, Biltwell and Motogrips do not have built-in throttles. You'll need a throttle tube to make them work. Biltwell makes one called the Whiskey Throttle Tube that works great.
The Avon Old School and Jack Hammer grips are nice because they have the throttle tube built-in.
This is the Whiskey Throttle Tube. Other people make them too.

Don't have a pic of mine, sorry. But depending on what kind of grips you have now, removing them is usually pretty easy. a lot of times I used compressed air to blow them off, pry up the edge a little and wedge the nozzle underneath. A few quick blasts and they'll start to loosen up and slide off. Other times I've had to use a cut off wheel (veeery carefully) cut em lengthwise and break em off. If yours are rubber already, use a razor and slice em up. No changes necessary for using sporty grips on dynas, remove and replace.
