Default Recommendations on grips?

I am buying new handle bars for my RK so I figure this is the time to go with new grips too. Any suggestions? I’m looking for comfort on long trips rather than aesthetics.

I also have the Nostalgic Hand Grips.&nbsp\\; They're boring to look at but extremely comfortable.&nbsp\\; All day comfort.&nbsp\\; If I bought another HD, I put them on again.

Another vote for the Kuryakyn Iso-grips.&nbsp\\; Great at isolating vibration.&nbsp\\; Extra points if you get the throttle rocker with them.

I have tried them all -but the grips I have used on two bikes now and will continue to use- are the Performance Machine Renthols- Best Damn grip I have ever used!
