I was hoping the Renthal grips would be a bit bigger in diameter than stock. I have a pair of the Nostalgic grips on my Bones, but I don't know how they would be on long trips.

+2 on the Nostalgic grips. They look great, feel great and simply do what a grip is supposed to do. I'm on my send pair as these work.

I didn't like the ISOs. Kind of a weird, sticky, clammy feel without gloves. (I did like the throttle boss and miss that.) Now using Avon grips and very happy. Great customer service too. http://www.avongrips.com

I don't want to seem as dumb as I am. Which is not hard to do. But, what are the Nostalgic grips and who makes them? Any pics?
