Love my Avons - very comfortable, tacky grip, but no black residue on the hands. I went with the Custom Contour Anodized Spike Grips http://avongrips.com/shop/products/C...ike-Grips.html

I have the AIr Grips. I just put them on about 300 miles ago. I love the looks and they are very confortable while riding.

No black or sticky hands for me at this point. Hope that helps

i have 8000 miles on these grips and luv them. i only wear gloves when its 50 or below.. no rub off... they are also made in Kingwood, teaxs

I installed Avon grips this week. I do ride some without glooves and my hands stay clean. I also really like the feel. I would highly recommend them. I did make a mistake when I put mine on as the cluch side is about an inch away from being all the way on. Be careful with that. It is no big deal but you can feel it is flexable at the end.

A guy here had the same problem with the clutch side. He had a small piece machined that fit into the end of the handlebars that was about an inch long so it didn't flex on the end.
