Get a Grips for me too.
I have had the ISO grips and liked them, but it seemed that the sweat in my hands made them want to rust a little. (couldn't always make myself wear glove when it's 100)

Had the ISO's on my Sportster & liked them, I was thinking about the Avons for the Road King, but went back with ISO's, I like the Throttle Boss better on them. I do have Cruise, but the throttle boss is nice sometimes when you can't use the cruise. I don't know how they will hold up, I went through a couple of throttle boss's on the Sporty chrome would peel (probably from sweaty hands) and the chrome was starting to buble on the grips after 5 years.

I have the Avon Air Cushion grips and like them a lot. I previously had the Kury ISO's on my Heritage and they were good too. Either ones I don't believe you can go wrong.

Performance Machine or Avon. Can't go wrong with either brand.

I've had these since I bought the bike and when I'm not using the cruise the iso-grip is very functional.

ISO grips, throttle boss, cruise control, and gloves with gel pads. I have carpal tunnel in both hands AND tendonitis in my right wrist. So I also wear a wrist brace.

Gotta keep riding!

Avon makes HD 'Get a Grip' for HD. The only difference is the shield logo and the price. You can buy Avons new in package off ebay for less than the cost of both Avon or HD websites. That's what I did.
