Default Grip change

Just unstalled these SAC leather grips last night. Removed HD rubber ISO type that the rubber ribs were making my fingers numb.
The SACs are a handful, but I'm finding them a lot more comfortable. More riding time will tell.



Anyone else riding these? Feedback?

I've looked at those, and others they have. They look really nice. But haven't pulled the trigger on any yet. Let us know how you like them the more you ride with them.

Took a short ride this morning, a mix of town and freeway riding. I'm liking the gerth of the grips as they fill my hand and I don't feel a need to hold on tight which would cramb my hand. I also like the cushion inside the leather which feels good on the inside of the left thumb while pulling in the clutch.
So far they are excellent.

I used some simular to those on Goldwings back when I rode those. After a few years the leather would pull out from behind the chrome, but they were good grips till then. I just like the stock grip size on mine.
