I have the ISO grips like these in the pic.

Love the flush mount gas cap, what did you do for the fuel gauge. I want to do those in Black on my bike, but on both sides.

Those grips will never get rid of vibrations. They're solid like bricks. Ive tried a dozen grips and the most comfortable and best feeling are the old school rubber coke bottles. Some may not like the style. But as far as reducing the buzz and vibes they rock.

All the flashy chrome and rock solid rubber grips suck.

And as far as Avon goes...they're overpriced rubbish.

I've used the kuryakyn iso grips to the stock rubber one with tennis grip tape over it with success.

Both tested in 2000+ miles trips.
Good luck.

Here's a pic of the black ISO grips with endweights and a Throttle Boss.

Arthritic hands, the only ones that seemed to help are Avon custom contour with the large machined ends. They are Renthal rubber I believe and are small diameter so I can wear better gloves and still encircle the whole diameter. I have them with chrome rival ends on both my softails.

Vibranators are great, unfortunately it appears the company went **** up. No way to purchase on their website, and an email to Don has not been answered. I’ve used them in the past, and I’d love to have another set.
