MiCarl Posted April 18, 2013 Share #3 Posted April 18, 2013 I'm using isogrips from Kuryakin and really like them. Me too. Large enough diameter to be very comfortable. Don't remember the model number, but it's the one that fits GoldWing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabreco Posted April 18, 2013 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2013 Me too. Large enough diameter to be very comfortable. Don't remember the model number, but it's the one that fits GoldWing. Me three. Love these. Much nicer than the stock rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie86 Posted April 18, 2013 Share #6 Posted April 18, 2013 Stock grips are the only way to go for me, the fatter ones hurt my hands on longer trips.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldseadog Posted April 18, 2013 Share #7 Posted April 18, 2013 I'm using isogrips from Kuryakin and really like them. I agree also, these grips were the first accessory that I added to my '84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted April 18, 2013 Share #8 Posted April 18, 2013 I just checked the ISO grips. The longest ones they have are 5.25 long. the grips on my bike are 6.25 long. What are you guys doing for the extra inch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted April 18, 2013 Share #9 Posted April 18, 2013 I still have these grips that came on the bike when I bought it. Never messed with them as they fit my hands fine. But.... they are showing signs of use and age and will have to replace them eventually. I see a lot of good comments on the Isogrips but never ran across a set to try the fit and feel. Do they fit a big hand well? I got some big paws (a 2xl or 3x glove) and most grips feel too small to be comfortable for a long ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted April 18, 2013 Share #10 Posted April 18, 2013 I always prefered the Foam OEM grips, and when mine fell apart I ordered new foam sleeves... http://img.jpcycles.com/product/5000115_A.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeMaster-Foam-Sleeve-Road-Grips-for-7-8-Bars I have a set of the 160mm grips coming tomorrow. I'll see how they fit the bike this weekend.

robclark63 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted April 18, 2013 I just clicked on the link you have...I might try those out, seems like they will not break the bank and they might be decent!! I guess the ones for 7/8 bars are the ones to grab?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted April 18, 2013 Share #14 Posted April 18, 2013 Actually I think I ordered them from Rick at Buckeye. I had to trim a bit off the end to get them to fit. Maybe that's the way to go??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
