ew grips. The stock ones are pretty cheap or there are loads of "custom" ones you can buy. They are easy to put on.

Dukdog is right. Not much you can do once they start gettin" funky. I bought a pair of ISO grips. Any accessory catalog or on line. They're a little larger in diameter than oem but have good cushion and traction. Quality built.

Be careful what you wish for.
Sticky grips mean that you don't have to squeeze as hard to resist the rewind.

New grips for sure. I've had H-D Ailerons on 2 motorcycles and wish I would have bought them for my current Electra Glide Classic. They are very comfortable as well as good lookin'.

I have had a lot of grips, but the RSD grips I just got are by far the most comfortable grips I have ever owned. I a little more money than your average grip, but they are bad ***

+1 on getting new grips, But better make up your mind, I finally went for a set of HD's Get-A-Grip's and damn things are on back order. Best of luck.

I put on RSD grips also. They look awesome and are comfortable AND effective.
