Default Who makes the most thin / narrow grips?

Most aftermarket grips are too bulky. Anyone suggest some good grips with a small diameter?
Thanks

IIRC, the 883 Low has smaller diameter grips...

you have to look at them side by side to tell, but they do neck down in the middle, while most OEM grips are flat all the way across

When I bought my Night Trail it had Battistinis grips like these:

They were too narrow for me, I ended up changing them for Iso Grips. I still have them in the garage somewhere.

Kuryakyn makes some smaller diameter grips, I think they're the kinetic grips.

Thanks guys,
I will look into those battistinis... But I think the 883 lows grips may have a different shape because the bar itself is different? It's called the easy squeeze handlebar?
