I think they are a nice touch of class. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has experience with them. More vibration than stock. Less vibration. More or less comfortable, etc.

Thanks for any response.
I've had them since I got the bike, 19,000 miles ago, so I can't really comment on stock vs aileron vibration. However, since they're still on the bike, that should tell you something about the comfort. Sorry I couldn't help any more than this.
I like the look, but the chrome piece that runs all the way across the grip hinders you from repositioning your hands on the grip. It sticks out enough that it only really feels good in your fingers behind your finger nuckles. They look nice but are not the most comfortable imo.
I wanted the Ailerons, but had comfort issues checking them out at the dealer.
I ended up with the X2's. They are square, and I find them really comfortable. Hardly have to grip em to hold the throttle.
It took a couple days to get used to them, but now I'm real happy.

I totally disagree. These are the most comfortable grips I've tried. I love how the raised chrome ridge acts like a thottle bose. The only time I really have to re-position is when I'm in 6th gear. These are great. They don't do alot for vibe absorbsion but they just feel like I have better control of the throttle.
I have a set on my Street Glide. Had put on about 2 days now. No assessment of comfort yet, although the 30mi I rode with them they are fine. They look great. Sorta "minimal" & not too flashy. Goes with a black Street Glide.
