Best grips to reduce vibration

I recently had a accident at work and long story short I lost half of my right thumb back in October. I have the edge cut grips on my softail and as much as I like them Im going to have to go with something that reduces vibration a lot better.At this point so far I havent been able to even grip the bars yet but I already know that vibration is going to be a issue let alone reach. I go in on the 1st of February to address the reach issue but I would like some recommendations on some really good grips if anyone has any input I would appreciate it.

Avon air cushion or Kuryakyn Iso-grips both seem to be popular for reducing vibration.

Avon also has memory foam grips that should also keep the vibes down.

Those Avons look pretty good, and not crazy expensive. Thanks Mother.

Might want to look into replacing your riser bushings if your still running the stock rubber ones. New poly bushings will help reduce handlebar vibrations.
