Grips

Could anyone recommend a good set of grips for my 2011 Street Glide? I have small hands. Thanks.

My hands or not on the large side either and these fit the bill nicely. Very comfortable.

Re: Grips

I like the Avon grips too - would've bought them if I hadn't already swapped w/HD Aileron's.

Re: Grips

+1 on the Aileron grips. I went from stock to those.
No matter what, I think a "rubber grip" is better than the all metal ones.
My wife's Dyna has metal. It is fine for a short ride, but after about an hour, my hands bother me.

Some of the gloves with the gel pads in the palm help as well.
Pay attention to the models though, so they fit your "throttle by wire" system.

I like thinner grips. I also like cruse control!

Re: Grips

Will agree with the aileron grips, had them on my sportster, they were comfortable. I have Kuryakyn iso grips on my softail, but they may not be right for smaller hands.

Re: Grips

Aileron grips for me too. They are contoured to your hands and are very comfortable.
