Default HD Grips..?

My HD grips are starting to crumble. They are rubber with chrome ends. Is there anything to put on them from crumbling or is that just part of the process? Thanks.

Replace them with ISO grips and you'll be glad you did.

I think you have just two choices. Live with it or replace them. I replaced mine when started getting a bit sticky. They're fairly cheap and easy to replace.

+1 on the Kuryakan ISO grips. Very well made and very comfortable.
