I just swaped out my OEM grips for the Get A Grip Magnums. They feel OK, better than the original grips, but I wasn't real impressed with the quality when I pulled them out of the package ... all plastic. So, I suspect the chrome plastic end caps will start to crack and peal in no time. Anyway, I'm gonna go with them for now.

I'm looking hard at the Avons or the PMs for replacement.

Mike

I have the Get-A-Grips on my 09 EGlide. They are OK but not as grippy as the PMs. I would stick with the PMs (pun intended).

Default neither

I went with the Avon air grips on my CVO RG....started looking at the HD get-a-grips too but figured they were being made in China so I went with the American made Avon grips. JM2C
