Default New Grips
Got my new Avon grips from Dennis Kirk in and installed them today. Haven't had a chance to take it out for a ride yet, that'll have to wait until I go to work in the morning. Thought I'd share a few pics, sorry for the quality they're taken with my cellphone.

Man, those do look nice! How much were they, if ya don't mind me asking. I was thinking of the black Isos, but $70 is a little steep.

About to ride into work so I'll post later tonight about the ride.

They ran 56.99 + 7.99 S/H from Dennis Kirk, Here's the link.

I noticed that from my pics they look like foam, they're actually rubber. Still very comfortable though...

I've had these on for about 10,000 miles and what a difference they made. No more itchy, tingly fingers, no more cramped thumb muscle, did I say I like em. These are Kuryakans, also from Dennis Kirk.

I went with the Kuryakyn iso grips, which are similar with the raised rubber except with chrome. They are all a great improvement from the stock and look a lot better too. Too bad the new HDs dont come with better factory grips for the $. The bigger diameter grips help on the longer rides.
