I think I'm the one guy that doesn't like the iso-grips. For some reason the ones I had on my softail would cause my hand to go numb. It seemed like one of the rubber pads found a point on my hand and just hit a nerve or something. I ended up putting the stockers back on and never had a problem.

newbie dog said "Gotta have a little rubber" :roll: :roll: :roll:
Seriously I love those grips...Do you know if anyone makes one similar for 1" ends?

I'd have to agree with Knotso "I am thinking long distance comfort and getting caught in the rain. Need the rubber."
I like the look of all chrome but it's not practicle.

Mine didn't quite fit either, the little brass things on the throttle cables wouldn't fit, I guess the chrome was too think. When I mic'd it they were about 10,000 too smal. I ran a 1/4" reamer through there and problem solved. They are not as comfortable as my stock grips with the rubber pads, but they look a hell of allot better!

I voted for metal/rubber, but have never ridden with leather (SAC feels pretty good on vendor displays). Actually, I have no problem with the feel of the stock BDM grips, but it's a bitch to polish the metal part.
I am not a "standard" size person, like larger diameter grips. Assorted [replaceable} end caps, maybe something with a Dragon?
On my H-D, have the ones with softer foam, VERY comfortable on long rides and in cold weather, good grip in the rain...

These with spiked ends would be nice. Everything I have seen spiked is all metal or has rubber runnin' the wrong direction for comfort.

I love the spiked grips but refuse to buy a chrome set of grips without rubber or something on them for grip.
I would love to see some spiked grips like the the xoprodox but with a leather wrap on them.

A post containing a poll will show up as new if someone answers the poll even if they don't actually type a reply.
I like those Batistini looking grips with the spiked ends. I had told myself my next bike was going to have all Batistini grips, pegs, everything but they don't really go with my new BDM and I'm second guessing how clean looking and smooth turning those stay over time.
