Havaglide, did you really NEED to replace the brake line?

I've always thought that when I got my bike, I'd get my grips from here.....

I've read that the Avon's are too shallow for use on the PYO MBBs...bars had to be trimmed down.

I'll be sticking with my stock HD grips.

On my Springer, I am open to suggestions though, and I really like those Carl Brouhard grips...! Decisions, decisions

I run the aileron HD grips. I have for two years. They fit my hands well and I'm considering the heated version.

I haven't run any other styles. It'd be interesting to hear from someone who has switched away from HD (in my case aileron) grips to something else.
