Out of the ones you posted I like the RSD ones the best. As far as ones made by HD my bike has these(only the heated version).... http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US ...
I had the service manager recommend them,he said"those are the only one's I would change the stock ones out for" ... This guy rides more bikes on a daily basis than any one else I can think of so I figure he should have a pretty good idea of what's good and what ain't. On the other hand if you are going for style first function second the all that reasoning goes out the window and alot of personal taste comes into play.

Sweet... I saw these somewhere and could't remember the name. Now you have me thinking about the entire set (grips, pegs, and shifter).
Hand cramps are what I'm trying to avoid.
Thanx

I'm thinking the Nostalgics will compliment the fork gaiters and stock pegs on the Nightster. But I like where your head's at... comfort then style.
Thanx.

Also... I'm looking to add a springer seat over the winter. Something to keep in mind with your suggestions.
Oh.... and uhhh littlest bling as possible. I like it on other bikes but for me... I dig stealthy.
Thanx folks for your input. Keep it coming.
