Kuryakyn or Pro-one grips?

airski · 04-07-2007

I'm wanting to get some new grips for my bike and i'm stuck between two. Kuryakyn ISO grips and Pro-One straight rubber style grips. I love the looks of the ProOne grips but I like the fact that you can add the throttle boss to the kuryakyn grips and it looks pretty much seamless. I don't want one of those plastic throttle rockers.

What grips do you all have and how do you like them?

I have the Kuryakyn Flame grips and really like them.

I have Pro1s. love em.

Johnny5 · 04-07-2007

I wonder how comfy the Kuryakyn boss is?

I have the plastic one, looks like crap, but works great.

Classic06 · 04-07-2007

I have Pro Ones and wouldn't get anything else.

Kury Iso's with throttle boss, no complaints.

I've got the ISO's on both bikes now. They're great grips but everyone has them. I think I see more bikes with them than stock grips. I guess it's a testament to how good they are and how they're priced.

Next time I will try something else, probably the P1 or SAC. I just don't like looking the same.

I had the regular Iso grips on my old Vulcan, and went with the Iso Flame grips this time, and IMO the Flames just feel better. Those big rubber ribs just felt a little funny to me even with gloves on.

I really like the look and comfort of my Pro One "Twisties". They're very comfortable on long runs, too!

I've never had the other grips but this is my 2nd pair of flame grips and I really like the feel of them. I added the throttle boss for added comfort and it helps with the longer rides.

Kuryakin Iso Grips here and they're great. I see whatever anyone is using as a replacement, they tend to greatly prefer over stock.

fidgit · 04-07-2007

I have the Kuryakin grips on my 82 yamaha and they work great, comfortable easy to hold on long distance etc. The Pro Ones look a littel more custom, with more chrome. I guess its personal choice though...

I just got back from a road trip in which I drove 450 mile in one day with the Iso grips with a throttle boss and my hand never got numb once.

Definitely, the stock grips are crap....

ISO flames here and I love them also have the throttle boss.

I have the ISO grips with the throttle boss and I like the combination a lot. The throttle boss looks good with the grips but the function is great too. I haven't tried any other grips but the ISO grips are a tremendous improvement over the stock grips. Form and function are great.

BigMac · 04-07-2007

Iso's with throttle boss, and I love em'

airski · 04-07-2007

I think I may try the ISO's because of the throttle boss. I like the looks of the Pro One's more but there is no "custom" throttle rocker for them.
