Just wanting to get some input from anyone who has/had the black diamond grips on their bike? Wondering about grip with gloves on/off, etc. I currently have the chrome/rubber grips and looking for a change. I like the looks of the Kuryakyn Transformer grips but not interested in going back to the glue route on the clutch side...
Love them. Yea, they get cold in the winter, but by the time they're cold I'm wearing gloves anyway.
Never had a problem in summer with them being too hot.
I like them, have the whole set, grips, floorboards, hwy pegs on my Ultra. They do get a little cold in the winter, however gloves work, and summer is no issue. I also lost an end cap, lucky I was at a traffic light when it fell off. Picked back up, snapped it on, and now have over 10,00 miles without then end cap falling off.
I did not care for them as they transferred the cold too easily and are too narrow for my liking.
I replaced them with Harley grips - not sure of the model but they are the ones that are all rubber and retro in appearance and very thick and spongy. Very good grip.
