So what cool retro style grips are you using and are they good for long rides?

ISO grips with Throttle Boss...yes they are excellent for long rides. Soft and comfortable and uses the palm to maintain throttle (not so much the hand grip)

I've had the HD Nostalgic grips on for a few thousand miles now and think they feel nice.

Kevin (DK)has been using the ISO Grips for a long while now, he loves them. The ISO Grips dampen handlebar vibration while providing a sure cushioned feel for long haul comfort. They are great for long rides, you can also get them with the throttle boss, which is even more helpful on long rides. Hope this helps you out

Got the biltwell recoil grips and love them. Plus no need to get a throttle tube although it said I would (2013 48)

Nostalgia grips are great. The big decision: White or Black?

I had the nostalgia grips for a while. The ridges cut into my hands. I took them off and replaced them with these. They are much more comfortable.
