| Pm Grips-or-gripes
After the extensive handle bar swap to my e-glide,I decided to try out some "PM" countour/renthal grips.These grips looked great,unfortunately after riding without gloves(I know it's not safe)for approximately 10 miles or so my hands felt every bump,vibration,& shimmy the road had to offer.These grips were over a hundred bucks  I now have them listed on craigslist for $85.00 or best offer.I went to the dealer & bought some o.e. plain stockers for 22.00 & called it a day 
I'm really starting to wonder if I should have just left the stock bars on & took more frequent rest stops on the longer rides Could have bought some real nice cigars,oh well.00 wildglide  |

I know how you feel brother, sometimes you want to put something on the scoot that looks great and in the long run it doesn't function great. And to top it of is a lot of $$$$. If you research enough you can find some grips that look and function great and it won't cost you a bundle. Ride on Brother "JAZZ"

| Next time try a set of Kuryakyns Iso Grips they are pretty nice looking, and are comfortable.
Next set I get are going to be heated. These cool summer nights in the 70's are hard on my hands! LOL

| At the Harley dealerships there's usually a rack of mounted hand grips. I know it's obvious, but I tried every one of the grips displayed and found only two felt good. Fortunately, one of them was the style I already have which the previous owner had put on. The other style was considerably more comfortable, but the look didn't go well with my Sporty.
I'm a guitar teacher and know that every hand is very different and so is every guitar. You gotta get your hand around the grips to see how it feels. | |
