HD Get-a-Grip & Avon are my two recommendations. Don't fall for the fancy names w/bling who up-charge to stamp their logo on end-caps...you're paying for them to advertise and they're crap.

I didn't like the hole in the end of the grip so I super glued a Hot Topper over it.

It was similar to this


Problem solved. Unfortunately, Hot Toppers is no longer in business. There may be other brands that are similar.

The 'Nostalgic' grips we're a good choice. Nice grip and inexpensive without the chrome that sux up the summer hot sunshine.

For those still running those stock HD grips, swap them out before you get caught in the rain. They're an accident waiting to happen, no grip!

I have nostalgics on my heritage and get a grips on the dyna. Both are comfortable and look great. I was concerned about them being too fat ( little hands) but they are perfect.

I have this setup on my Heritage as well and am very impressed with the comfort.
