Like said, subjective. I also like Avon grips but I never ride without some sort of leather between my hands and grips. Never could, never will. Been this way since I was a kid very long ago.

I have the Harley Magnum Get-a-Grips & think they are very comfortable.

Kury ISO grips with the throttle boss are hard to beat. Comfortable, and the design allows air to flow between the grip and your hand.

Who the hell knows? I'm with Dickey with the Get-a-Grips...but I know some guys who love the OEM grips and would never change! I personally would never have a metal grip but clearly there are guys who love them, and they have excellent reasons for doing so.

I was looking for new grips for my 2017 RGU when I bought it, saw a CVO in the show room with the Air Flow grips. Once I put my hands on them I was sold and had them installed on my RGU. 5K miles later they are my favorite grips and will add them to my Wide Glide as well

Be sure and add the cruise control function....
Not a true "cruise control" but it lets you remove your hand from the grip while keeping the throttle in the same position.

Kuryakyn ISO grips.
Only had one bike without them on and I regretted it.

I went from the Arlen Ness deep cuts ( too bulky ) to the HD air flows and really like them. The new HD defiance look and feel nice but pricey. HD grips always fit good.

I have the Avon Contours in black. They are OK, but if HD had the slipstream grips in black, that is what I would be running. For me the oval shape fits my hands nicely. (most HD dealers have a demo area set up with grips on bars) that is where I felt them.
