Default Looking for nice grips for my street bob
I love the willie G skull grips, but they are like 140 eur, which is like 160 usd here in europe

I saw similar grips on ebay from China, like this

Anybody has those?

Those grips aren't worth the price.

Hard to wrong with Kuryakyn ISO grips. I have them on my Wide Glide with the small Throttle Boss.


They feel great and grip excellent with leather gloves on. IMO these grips strike a good balance between rubber and chrome.

If you like them and want to try them go for it, but I wouldn't look for them to last as long as you would expect

Get something you like the style of, but with the Renthal slip ons, so they are replaceable.

Find something with a contour grip, very comfortable to grip while riding.
