Default Larger grips

I have large hands and I find that the stock grips on my 2012 Road King are too skinny. My hands start to cramp up. I'm looking at Avon Air Cushion grips or the Harley Get-A-Grip in Magnum size. Any thoughts on one versus the other? Am I missing any other thicker grip that is TBW?

Kuryakyn ISO is another large grip. I have never used either you mentioned but have the same problem you do. I looked at the Harley get-a-grip magnum but went with the ISO with the throttle boss. I have severe arthritis in my hands and the throttle boss allows me to relax my hand but maintain speed when I cant use the cruise control.

I think the Kury ISO's or HD Get A Grip Magnum would be what you're looking for.

grip puppies, foam over grips. Or tennis racket grip tape to make them thicker is a cheap solution instead of buying a new set of grips. Also check out the harley nostalgic grips also. They are similar to the get a grips with the middle being slightly large diameter then the ends

I've had ISO grips on my wg for 13 years and love them. You do have to get used to the larger diameter, but the buzz and tired hands are all but gone

Another options are the coolsac grips. They have foam liner to minimize vibrations.

You mite google up custom carved- CoolSAC grips
I also have large hands with long fingers. These grips fit the bill for me.
