I'd say go with the ISOs, just take them apart and sand blast and powder coat color of choice.

I went with the HD Smooth Leather grips, feels like a glove and a touch of chrome. Can't stand the feeling of rubber.

Check your local listings for a swap meet, aside from lightly-used, you'll find vendors with aftermarket ones. Until you wrap your own hands around a few, you won't know what to look for. My fingers aren't long, but the best grips for my comfort was always chubby leather ones. I bought a pair at Rapid City Harley's fleamarket during Sturgis week once. The black leather was over colored leather (royal blue matched my bike close enough) the look was a bonus compared to 650+ mile-a-day comfort.

Iso-Grips are the only way to ride. Max comfort and great looks. Have had them on three bikes so far and will continue to use them.

I got the HD leather on mine, like them, but I've heard an awful lot of good stuff about the Kuryakyn ISO's. Will be puttin them on my wifes Deluxe this winter.

They are very comfortable. I rode out to Sturgis and back, from Central NY this summer, on some very hot days with no problems. I am able to ride without gloves and find the grips very comfortable.

The ISO grips were the best grips ever... I went for the HD diamond grips to complete my theme. Worse mistake I could have made. They look cool but they are very uncomfortable.

Well I like the stock rubber grips. But wanted somthing with a bit more class. When they brought out the 2007 Screamin` Eagle Springer & I saw the grips I had to special order a set. Waited almost a month because they are sold seperate & the right one was back ordered. Go figure!!! But I have them now and love them!
