Default Grips opinions

I bought my bike slightly used and the original owner upgraded the grips. I found them on the HD site and was a bit surprised by the price. I should be used to that by now but.... Anyway looking for thoughts/opinions on grip aftermarket products.

I’ve always been partial to ISO grips. I know some folks don’t care for them, but I’ve always had good luck with them, they feel good and don’t cost an arm and a leg. I like the attached throttle boss as well.

I searched and searched for a grip and was finally told about the Avon memory foam grips. Bought a pair at my local HD store, had them install them right away and have never looked back. Definitely the best grip I have ever had for every reason.

Have Avon grips on both current bikes for good reason.

Avon is all you need and way cheaper than HD grips, especially on Amazon.

Had Avon on my last bike. My limited has heated grips so that what I have now. Liked the Avon's a lot.

Another vote for the memory foam Avons.

Biltwell, $18.00 with lots of styles and colors. I have them on 3 bikes, very pleased. If you hate them, you are not out any real money. Good luck.
