I have an 03 Heritage Softail with Avon grips & am in the market for some new grips with a palm rest on the throttle side... I'm just as interested in inexpensive ones that work as I am expensive ones, as I am not trying to impress anyone, I just want to improve the quality of my longer rides...

So what brand & stock number do you use? What are the pros & cons of them?

Post pics if possible.

 

Interested to hear some feed back as well. I have a 06 Heritage Softail Classic that I hope some different grips help. Believe carpel tunnel is the culprit causing my right hand to go numb after 20-30 minutes of riding. Had the same issue on my prior cycle so I think it’s me, not the cycle.

Grab a $10 Throttle Rocker and call it a day. I forgot about these, going to grab one myself...

I would consider one of those, but I really don't care for these Avon grips and would like to have a solid black set of grips with a matching palm rest, just hoping to get some input on what folks think about the different grips out there....

 

Well I certainly get that, I swapped out chrome grips for solid black ones myself. Grips you like are important.

 

Kuryakyn or however you spell it.

 

I was chatting to a guy who had Harley's retro, barrel shaped rubber grips. He reckoned much more comfortable, fit his hand shape better than straight. I've not seen grips with built in rests, would have thought they'd be difficult to fit right. I use a detachable version when I tour and I usually adjust it a couple of times to vary the position and stay comfortable. Be difficult if built into the grip.

 

Look for grips that you can tighten the rest from the outside. Most tighten from inside, so you have to take the grip off if the rest comes loose.
