Love my HD Kahuna (heated) grips. A bit pricey but well worth it as a lot of my riding is in cool/cold temps. I find them very comfortable plus they look great! Come in chrome or black.

+1 for Kahuna heated. I have them as well and they're awesome.

After 30 years, I still think the stock ones are the best.

I'm seriously considering these for my '20 Heritage Classic 114.

The Willie G style ones are very comfortable. $279.00 in the H-D catalog for the heated ones...

I like Performance Machine stuff, so I went with their elite grip this time around. I like that they offer replacement rubber and the left grip comes off with set screws as most use glue.
