Smile Opinions on grips
For my 2008 Heritage ? I had the ISO grips and did not like them as they were too big around for my hands...... I was considering some foam grips and some others . Any opinions ?

I do not like the Harley chrome ones, at least for me .... Looking for comfort, not just something that looks cool .

PM contours are very comfy as well and not as big as the ISO's.

The Avon's are virtually the same as PM without the name brand too.

I've had a few different kinds, and so far the RSD trackers with the renthal has been the most comfy for me.

I think all 3 are the same grips Avon, PM and RSD grips just different design.

Ive compared the the avon side by side to some rsd grips and the quality was the same.

I didn't like the iso's partly for the same reason. I went with the HD knurled chrome with the rubber rings at the ends. Fit my hands good, look good, and are a glueless install. I always wear gloves so the knurled grip isn't a comfort issue.

I had Avons on my Sportster. Great grips.

I think that is more from the difference between the bikes.

Threads like these usually yield a list of all grips made.

That said, be sure to check out the HD Stealth grips.
