Default Aileron Grips

Currently using stock grips. Always thought the Aileron's looked great and last week I was in a dealership in Raleigh and they had the Aileron's displayed on bars. They felt really good.

I was wondering if anyone hear has used them and how do you like them?

I've had them on my SG for a few weeks now....so far so good. Very comfortable fit for my large hands.

I have the heated version and like them. Much better than stock.

I'm put them on my Softail years ago and the rubber started to peel off the right grip.

FYI.

Have had them on for a couple thousand miles now and really like'm.
FWIW, when I put them on, I clocked the throttle so when at regular cruise it's just about same position as the left grip.. other wise it feels funny..

Used to be my favorite grips HD made. I had them on my bikes in the past.

I got 'em on my Fatty & don't like them. Too small a diameter, & rubber's too slippery. The grips I like best, HD no longer makes. I like a large grip, & thinking of going with Magnum Get-a-grips, or the Nostalgic.

Had the whole Aileron set on my Dyna, but I had to swap out the grips, for some reason they made my finger tips fall asleep. But I did like the looks.

I put them on over a year ago. I wanted a smaller grip and they have worked out well.
