So far so good... I've never had any grips besides the stock grips. It was a spur of da moment buy during Christmas exchanges. They'll be on there for a while I'm sure. Kinda neat how it "clinks" when I grab the clutch to fire it up:-)

I had them on (2) 2003 Wide Glides, one mine one the wifes and now an '09 FLHTCU. I really like the chrome strip the way it fits in the curl of your fingers, almost acts like a little "cramp buster" by helping hold the throttle. They also have the varying diameters on them; makes it like holding a baseball (sort of). It lets the shorter fingers go around the grip more but still gives the large feeling in the center. I guess if you have huge hands thats not an issue, but the wife loves these grips. I will never go back to a round grip.

I found the stickyness to go away with soap and water.

BTW: I always wear full fingered gloves. Maybe that makes a difference.

Clean them regularly, the oils in your hands will attack the rubber, that's why the glove wearers haven't had the problems.

Same with mine, they were sticky. Cleaned them with alcohol, windex and what else I had @ the house. Drove me nuts, replaced w/ PM grips and never looked back...

Had mine for four years. Yes they get a little sticky, the rubber does not deteriorate though. I really like them.

Had them on my last two bikes, get the chrome rib in the right place and you'll like them.
