Default Grip Suggestions

Any grips that anyone particularly likes? I'm having trouble narrowing my choices.

I have and love the medium diameter diamond plate grips. They look great and feel great too.

One of the first things I did on my '05 1200C was to get rid of the 'small grips' that came as standard equipment.

The very first thing I did was change out those skinny little non-vibration absorbing grips with Kuryakyn ISO Grips with the throttle boss -and I love 'em!

I have these and have been really happy with them. They have a slightly smaller profile than the stock ones, are very comfortable and do well in the rain:

I have a different set on each bike but I have to second the Iso's. I have these on the Softy and really like them.

How are those different grips for vibration? I've just about worn out the stock grip on the throttle side, and if I'm going to replace them, I'm most interested in something to cut down on the vibration. Sometimes after a few hours my fingers get numb on my throttle hand.

I've got the kuryakn iso-grips with throttle boss on mine and am very pleased with them.The throttle boss is a nice addition on those real long rides.

I have the ISO grips as well but don;t really feel comfortable with them as I have smaller hands. They feel a bit think to me. I am going to buy these grips as they will match my skull and flame design to my bike perfectly and are a bit smaller than the ISO's
