Default Grips For Road King

I am looking for some new grips for my road king. After an hour my hand cramps from turning the throttle. I have tried the gloves with the padding and still no luck. There are several types at the Harley shop and wondered if any one had good luck with any or suggestions. Thanks

Use the cruise control as much as possible.
A fatter grip causes mine more problems - old age is my problem along with corpel tunnel- artritis. If the cruise goes out I am in bad shape- can only go about 15 min. with out having to rest the throttle hand.

I have cramping problems in my right hand from an accident, bought this for $10.00 years ago and it never comes off. It really worked for me, takes a little getting used to it is so easy to accidently hit the throttle but no more hand issues.

Lots of riders like the Kuryakyn ISO's. I have a set on my bike and really like them.

That looks pretty cool but can you elaborate on how it works and how it helps?

It just attaches on the throttle, takes 2 seconds, and you can work the throttle with the heal of your hand, no gripping, give it a shot, $10.00 for me changing grips makes no difference.
