Default Grips

I have been looking at new grips. Kuryakyn iso are in the lead now. Anyone have a better choice for me to consider?

Black? Chrome? Padded? Heated? I have the ISO Blacks, they're nice.. though if I had found the Avon Air Cushioned Grips in black first, I probably would have bought those.. there's a ton of threads about grips on here, have you not found anything in a search?

What do mean by "better" ?

If you like the look and feel of the grips then it's a good choice. There's too many grips to consider and too many opinions on the grips. What I think is better, you may not.

I have Avon air cushion grips on my Heritage and Kuryakyn iso's on my Nightrain. I absolutely love the Avons, I got the ones with throttle assist and velvet rubber! Really nice, way better than the Kuryakyn's. IMO. I just wish I got heated ones..
