I've been using vintage grips for years, real comfy for my small hands

I am keeping the stock grips on the 09 UC, had the ISO grips on my 07 but they were not as comfortable as the stockers. The HD nostalgic grips look good also.

I've been using the leather grips for over 2 years. Most comfortable I've found.

I've got bad arthritis in both hands. ISO grips help a lot. Also very durable.

Nostalgic now for me on 3 bikes, after a few years of swapping them out to find the perfect grip.

I have always been a ISO fan...used them for years..... I put a set of the Avon "air" grips on the new RoadKIng, and I gotta say.. 400 miles later, I will trade out my ISO's for them on my Softail. No hand fatigue, good diameter, no slip grip surface that is comfortable without gloves.....WAY better than the ISO's!

I have the HD Chrome and Rubber Horizontals on my Road Glide. Really like the way they look and feel. Matching footboard inserts, pedals, and shifter pegs are available as well for an integrated look.
