Question Which Grips?

'Sup everyone? Just received my new HD bars (56110-98) in the mail today but can't decide on which grips to pair with them.

I'd love to hear your feedback. I'm leaning towards HD's Nostalgics but open for suggestions. btw... I'm riding a black nightster.

I vote for the black diamond (first link) that's what I got for mine and I really like them, I have the full set of pegs as well.
The nostalgic look too much like bicycle grips to me.

where does one find brass sex toys?!?!!?

honestly my opinion isn't going to match alot of guys on here...I don't really go for H-D "accessories" I prefer customizing with items that you actually have to seek out as opposed to those sitting on a shelf next to the sporties in the showroom.

I know there not black but they're comfortable and the throttle boss is nice.
But to pick one out of the choices you gave. I've always liked the Ness grips just cause they're different.

Oh, I must not have scrolled down far enough. The ones I saw were brightly colored rubber looking pegs and grips.
