Default Best Grips

What are the most comfortable (and still sharp looking) hand grips?

If you have cruise control any hand grips are comfy even stock, but a lot of folk swear by ISO grips by Kuryakyn for looks and comfort.

I like Harley's Nostalgia grip. Soft, easy to grip and old school simple.

Personally, I'd stay away from the rubber/chrome models (such as the 'stealth' model). I ended up with some pretty wicked calluses caused by their uneven feel (perhaps I grip too tightly). I have since gone back to their pigskin grip model - I really like them and they weren't too expensive.

If you are looking to reduce vibration the ISO grips are incredible - I can't say enough good about them!!!! - They made huge difference on my EG

Kuryakyn ISO as said by others for comfort, but the most beautiful are the PM Renthal grips (in black) in my opinion.

Kuryakyn ISO's with throttle boss all the way. I have found that any combo of rubber and chrome allow for a little ventilation to occur between the grip and your hands making for more comfort on hot days.

Kuryakyn Iso-Grips are the bomb. They look great, absorb most all the vibration and last forever. They have different end caps you can get and trim rings too. Check them out. You can't go wrong.
