ironside vs stealth grips
Chromin' out the controls, looking for some grips for a 2008 Street Glide.
At first I was leaning toward the Ironside grips, having admired them on this year's CVO bikes, but I'm wondering if they'd look a bit out of place with all of the Streamliner accents on the console and foot controls. You could always swap out the foot controls, but it seems like at some point you cross the line between a wannabe-CVO instead of a chromed-out FLHX.
I'm thinking that the Stealth grips might coordinate better with everything else that's already on the bike, but are they comfortable?
The X2 grips would be perfect, but they aren't available or the 2008s, at least not yet.
The contoured chrome and rubber might solve the problem —less bling but more practicality.
Got pix, anyone? Pardon the pun: First-hand experiences?
Thanks

RE: ironside vs stealth grips
I just got an 08 street glide myself in black pearl and was having a similar debate. I have decided on the Ironside as they seem a bit beefy-er than the Stealth. I like the stealth but see them more on a custom chopper style rather than my SG. Just a preference. BTW I have ordered the heated oes and can't wait to get my hands on them, so to speak.

Whew, I thought I was going to get blasted for being so **** about this. Glad I'm not the only one who overthinks these things! [sm=teetertooter.gif]
Through the magic of Photoshop . . . neither really looks right to me.

I searched for awhile for fit and function with a bit of style and I love my Centerline grips. Comfortable, stylish, and generate compliments as well.

I really like the looks of the stealth grips. They look very nice with chromed out controls!

I had the stealth grips, be ready to replace them after about 1-2 years, mine had the chrome turned to near black in spots and flaking off. To much to pay for it to do that in under two years. junk harley china crap, but they look good if you dont ride it.
