Default New PM Grips
Anyone tried the new Performance Machine "Elite" Grips? Considering these, but mighty pricey! Any info appreciated.

I have a 2011 RKC. Been riding bikes for 43 years. I got a set of these. They are without a doubt, the most comfy grips that I have had. Check em out.

Those are suweet and that isn't pricy for PM FBW grips. My Renthols cost 120 or something like that MSRP. As far as the Kury grips.. I think the ISO's are nice but thats about it. A little to fat of a grip for me. I've had a few of theirs and the ISO's were the only ones i cared for. I changed all my Kury's for PM's quite a while back and will never look back. One of the first changes i do to a new bike.

Nice grips & price is a tad high, but PM makes good stuff. Might be worth a try someday when I wear out my HD Aileron's...I'm also looking at Avon too (cheaper).

Hey Iceman... i had the Avon on my custom VRod and they were nice. Very worth the price you pay for them. I think i gave 59 for them with and they had the spiked ends on them. I did end up switching back to the PM's because i thought they felt a tad better to me. Maybe not noticeable to others though. Here's a pic of them on the bike (if you can see it ok). Worth giving them a shot though if your thinking about them...

I think they are the same as the usual ones. PM does have a set that is a larger diameter call XL or soething like that. I've been thinking about the Avon cushion grips also.
