Since I'm dropping too much on some parts.... I wonder if anyone can recommend some sexy but effective grips as well....Style and eliminating vibration is my my goal.

Thx

Ok, so the grips are solved.... is there any other little things I should be considering at this point? So far I spent approx $1700.... was thinking about $2k.... but at the same time, I will be added more stuff in the spring.

Phatperformance seems to have all the things I want, making it a one stop shop... (assuming they will have stock soon enough).

For Now

V&H big radius
Cobra pro tuner
Baron air intake
chrome belt drive protector
iso grips

I am thinking a 240 tire and calling it a season? Before my wife kills me and I go broke?

Best grips?

Well with any rubber it's always best to lube them occasionally, I put Vaseline on about 3-4 times a year, just rub it on and wipe it off and make sure they're dry before you ride again, I do the same thing with my golf grips

That does look sick, how about eliminating vibration?

Also, does that pipe touch/heat your leg?! I'd hate to alter my riding position... and it seems my short legs are already close

It really comes down to two styles for me - Kuryakyn Iso or Avon Air Cushion. I agree on the need for less vibration, so I want to add weights and a throttle assist. Can you get those on the Avons?

I definitely need something, because my fingers on both hands get so sore that I can't shake hands or grip hard after a long ride. It takes a week for the pain to go away. It's ridiculous.
