Default Grips Suggestions

Got these HD Flame grips for Christmas. Havent put them on yet. Not sure what I think of them. Not a big "Flame" kind of guy. Got ac cover, derby, and timer cover as well. Before I "Flame out" my Road King, would like some opinions. Had Kury Iso grips on last bike and liked them alot.

Thoughts on Flame grips...quality, comfort, etc.

Thanks for your input.

I've had the Harley Flame Grips from day one. I like the look and really have no issues whatsoever with them. Its a bit difficult to polish the crhome flame area but thats really not a big issue.

I have them on my fatboy and would never put them on my bagger, they look cool but IMO not comfy enough for long rides. The flame egdes feel funny on your hands. Mike

Had the flame grips on my sportster. They were ok, I have the nostalgic grips on my Road king, like the heck out of them. Haven't had any dealings with the kury grips but everyone that rides with us that have them love them. If you go with the kury grips, do yourself a favor and get the ones with the throttle boss.

PM Renthal Grips. Looks Good and Comfortable. Kind of pricey though.

I had ISO's on my Vic. I hated them, they left black stuff on my hands and looked like crap. I have these on my FLHX and love'em.

I love the ISO grips. I suffer from sensory damage from combat and the ISO grips ease up on the numbness and tingling I get. Not ebveryone is a big fan of Kuryakyn here...but I like the ISO grips for sure!

Ride Safe, Mike
