I just installed a set on my crossbones.....haven't had the chance to ride yet since it's winter, but I can say that they have sort of a unique feel to them. Sorry not much info on them, but I know every little bit helps.

This is my second bike I have them on...just love the look. If you ride with gloves I think they are fine but I don't find them very comfortable without them.

I took mine off. Slip & slide in the rain/cold. It's a must you wear gloves. Bought me some cheap soft rubber grips I like em much better.

Had them on my V-Rod. Like Lundee said, slip when wet. Will tear up your hands a bit if you dont use gloves.
