OK, I have Harley Nostalgic grips and they are just too hard. After 200 or so miles my hands have had it. I need reviews of some softer grips. ISO? Avon? Any others?

Biltwell Kung Fu grips, super soft and cushy. Lots of colors to choose from. Good luck.

I've been using these or years and love them. Soft, easy to grip, don't get too hot to touch in the sun. They have many others but I like these simple plain leather ones.

Even with gloves? I had a pair on my Shovelhead and they were fine. They looked good too.

+1 on the Coolsac. They are fat and soft. The sew leather covers on foam grips.

I hope this helps.

I always wear gloves. I have had a few hand injuries over my career.

I was looking at these, but I'm not in any hurry.
