Large or Small?

Hey Folks,

HD list two different size grips across their range.

If you have changed your grips out, which one's are favored?

Be keen to see if there is a big difference between the two.

Summers gone here in the UK now. Still riding though!

I prefer the large ones, the smaller ones remind me of a metric. Size does matter.

for me it depends on the size of your hands, I have the big ones on my bike and like them. When I bought my wifes sporty it had the big ones on there and she was having a hard time grabbing the clutch, also grabbing the front brake without rolling the throttle some, I switched her out to the smaller ones and she has had no problems and likes those much better.

I have small hands, so I go with the small grips.

Cheers!

Same for me. I have tried the bigger ones and it stretches my thumb into an uncomfortable position which in turn puts a strain on my wrist. Already have enough issues with my hand going numb.
