I was looking for some also and was leaning toward Harley's Aileron or Slipstream.

It's nice to explore aftermarket grips. These are my Bitwell Kung Fu grips and I have been diggin them on my Slim for a while now. I also like the Harley get a grips.

I can vouch for the Slipstream being comfortable. I have them on my Breakout, and they are used on the CVO Breakout as well. They have a good combo of chrome and black rubber and conform to your hands nicely.
I have PM Contour grips on my SG that are similar to the Get-A-Grips by HD, the little nubs might be bothersome to some ppl but nothing a set of fingerless gloves won't resolve.

HD Aileron and Get-a-Grips are good (used both) and you might want to look @ Avon...lots of positive reviews (personally, haven't tried).

Performance Machine. I like the shape of them, they are fatter in the center.
