Grips--Kuryakyn vs Harley

Decided the Glide needs new grips. Had the Kuryakyn ISO Grips on my last bike and loved them, but figured I'd ask here--Harley seems to have a selection of their own ISO grips as well. Anyone recommend (or not recommend) them? Price doesn't seem to be all that different. Thanks.

I put ISO grips on my Heritage last winter. So far this year I have to say that they are a huge improvement over stock.

I've had Iso over years recently switched to newer Kuryakyn Kenetics. Similiar to Iso but not as large diameter really like them.

The major upside to HD grips over most others to me is the fact that HD grips have a lock collar on the clutch side. No gluing the grip on, it's held on by the controls.

I have the HD "Get A Grip" Grips, very comfy, hate the looks of the Kuryakyn Isogrips but they are comfortable.

I've had both HD and Kuryaking ISO grips, and I like the looks of the HD more, but the Kury grips are more comfortable.

Wrapped my stock Street Glide grips with bicycle racing handlebar tape (cushion cork). Rode with this for a couple years and the tape starting wearing smooth, along with a couple spots where the tape had shifted slightly and was starting to gap at the edges. So I wrapped that tape with a layer of black friction tape. (Bike is Denim Black, and so this is a nice color/style match.) Resulting grips are nice and beefy, comfortable, and provide a great grip, relieves hand / wrist strain.

Kuryakyn ISO grips for me. I've got them on both of my bikes. Love the throttle boss too.

I had the ISO grips on the last bike. I had the throttle lock and matching opposite bar weight. I found that just gluing the left weight to the grip was enough to keep it form spinning. Really like the throttle boss but have cruise now.
