I have the Nostalgic grips on my RKC and really love the look and feel. Like Dango says, they're larger. I wear a medium glove and they're fine so medium or larger hands should be good. I plan to put the heated Nostalgic on my Roadster that I use for commuting. I was going to go for the ISO because of what I'd read on here but they just won't look right for retro Roadster I'm working on. And I want heat.

when I put the buckhorn bars on I changed to the nostalia grips I have small hands and arthritis and the fatter softer grips are very comfortable. Don't have to use a lot of grip pressure to be in control

Although I don't have them, tons of people swear by the Kuryakyn ISOs.

Any Ladies with the Nostalgic grips? I like the look, but worried they may not be comfortable for woman's smaller hands after reading some of these posts.

Well, I went on ebay and found the Nostalgic grips on "Old School Choppers" web store. I got the grips for like 17.99 and less than 9$ shipping and handling. No Brainer.. I figured if I didn't like them, I was only out less than 27$.. If you are interested in the Nostalgic grips, go to Ebay and look for Old School Choppers for a good deal on grips. Thanks to all for your input.

I use the wooven leather grips from SACUSA.com. They are larger, padded and color matched to my paint. if you have a small hand or use padded gloves then these are not for you unless you have a very large hand. I rid in FL and only use thin gloves. They dod not get cold or hot and take a lot of the vibration out of a long ride. Love em. They now have them out for 09's
