Arlen Ness Smoothie Grips. So grippy they are almost painful.

My last 4 bikes have had the grips replaced with Avon whether they needed replacing or not.

Kahuna Heated Grips. Can get them in non-heated as well. I love them.

I like these Kuryakyn grips. You can add that tab on the throttle for longer trips. Takes the load off of your hand.

I have been using Biltwell rubber grips on three of my bikes. Nice soft rubber, lots of color choices, and for $20, if you hate them rip them back off. Kung Fu grips on 2 bikes very comfortable. not sure which ones are on my Shovel, but I can tell you white does not stay clean.

Let me also say that TWICE I have made the mistake of fancy chrome grips. One set was HD and the other was Arlen Ness. Most people will only make that mistake once---After it sits in the sun, they are too hot to touch and on cold days they are too slippery and my hand would cramp holding on so tight.

They DO LOOK AWESOME!!!!!!
