Default Favorite Grips......Thinking of making a swap

I have Kuryakyn ISO grips now, just wondering, in case I cannot re-use my ISO grips after I put on my PrimeApes, what you guys prefer? I've been looking at the Arlen Ness Deep Cut Comfort, and the Avon air grips! Any thoughts?

First thing I did to my UC was to install Drag's Sundance foam grips. I've used them on bikes for years and obviously like them. The new ones I bought for the UC seem much softer than grips from years past. $22 for bling-less comfort.

Avon air grips. Dampens a lot of vibration and feels great on your hands. I think I paid $55 at my local Indy shop. I've had them on both my Harley's and I love them.

I've been looking at those odd shaped Avon Grips. They claim to be REAL ergonomic and comfortable? Anyone have them?

Check out the H-D Aileron grip. Very ergonomic, very comfortable. I had them on my Road King and my Street Glide. Now I wish I would have put them on my Electra Glide Classic.

I have the Avon air cushioned grips and I love them. They're the ones with the 3 chrome rings. Great grips for trips or just cruising around town.

I am looking at those too, mainly for comfort but also because Avons are made in the USA. I like the idea of the throttle "boss" . Would be curious how owners of these like them.

I bought the Harley "Get-A-Grip" and for me they are perfect.

PM Contour grips are great, I just switched to the Contour XL and nothing but praise for them both!

I had the chrome Kuryakyn ISO grips on my Ultra and then switched out my handlebars to Wild 1 black Chubbys a year ago. I wanted the black Kuryakyn ISO grips but they were back ordered at that time. I went with HD Black Diamond grips. I didn't like them so this past weekend I changed back over to the Black Kuryakyn ISO grips
