What grips do you have?

Looking to put new grips on, something diffferent was looking to see what you are using & how you like them? Thanks in advance for the input - looking at the Kurry grips but being wider does that affect lever operation?

I had the ISO on my last bike and really liked them. I just installed a set on my nomad last week.

Kuryaken Iso Grips, ordered them the night I got home with my new nomad, can't beat them. I had someone tell me once they wanted new grips but didn't want the Iso Grips because everyone had them, I just told them that there is a reason everyone has them

I ran the Kury ISO grips for a few years. They are great. Me, having large hands, really made me appreciate the grips even more. They didn't affect the function of the levers at all. When I changed my handle bars, I got a new set of Kury ISO FLAME grips. I like them as well as the ISOs, but the diameter is just a little less.

I have the iso grips as well, they are great except they make my hands go black unless I wear gloves. Do any of you guys find that as well?

I put the Kawasaki Ribbed Grips on last summer and really like them. They are just a bit larger than stock. I wear gloves regardless of the weather and my hands never go numb.

Kury ISO's here too, but I'm in the minority - I don't care for them, comfort-wise, but they are bigger around than the stock ones, which is great for my bigger hands.

My old '92 honda had some kind of thick foam grips that I just loved. Extremely comfortable. If I find those for these bars, I'm gettin' them and replacing the ISO's.

Had the ISO grips on my last bike and will get them for the nomad as well as soon as I can get my wife to forget how much I have spent on necessities (accessories = don't have to get 'em )
