Ordered a set from Coolsac last year and returned them before I even used them,&nbsp\\; poor quality IMO

Been through a set of the leather ones, and what I don't like is that if you sweat, they get slick.&nbsp\\; Also, they seem to slide in your grip more so than some of the other ones.&nbsp\\; JMHO for what it's worth.&nbsp\\; CCRyder

I had them on my last bike for 4 years. I thought they were very comfortable grips and they held up quite well. I had the flame grips, they were orange flames to match my old bike. My only complaint would be that the orange color would get stained by my black gloves. Leather cleaner did work to clean them though. I just got an 08 Ultra and am considering getting them again but I have not had time to contact them concerning the 08 FBW issue.&nbsp\\;

i have to coolsac plain black leather grips on my bike. I like them. It took a while to get use to them as they are slightly larger diameter than the kury iso grips that i had before and much bigger than stock hd grips.&nbsp\\; The quality is great and the customer service is also.&nbsp\\; I have not had any trouble from slipping once wet as i have been in the rain many. many times, with and without gloves.

the throttle lock version is if you do not already have cruise control correct?&nbsp\\;

I have had the Coolsac Leather grips for over a year.&nbsp\\; Most comfortable grips I have ever owned.&nbsp\\; They do get a little dirty from your hands but clean up good with a leather cleaner.
