Default Grips
Hey, what are your favorite aftermarket grips? I have the stock ones still, 40k miles on the bike and ummm, they get sticky and are turning my hands black, (Or get my gloves dirty too, when I wear them)
So, even if I get rid of this bike later this year for a SG, I want to swap grips.
Easiest install? All the same that way? Do the ones with much chrome on them get unbearably hot in the sun? Ect....

General likes about different grips please!
TIA!

I still have my stock grips on too, but am looking closely at the chrome and rubber nostalgic grips. I would also like to hear some feedback. (Jim, I'm not trying to hijack this thread) : )

Greetings,

I've always run the ISO grips on mine. There's different ends you can buy for them (I went for the spiked look) and are much more comfortable than stock. They are very durable and nothing rubs off.

I go with the ISO grips too. Very comfortable and you can get them with a throttle boss so you can relax your hand when you go long distances.

I've also had the Kuryakyn Iso grips on my last two bikes and love em. They're fat and comfortable.

Another vote for the ISO grips. I was fighting a vibration problem that was causing my hands to go numb....not anymore.

Performance Machine Contour grips. I used to ride dirt bikes and love the Renthal diamond rubber grip.
