I, too, am looking for something different to put on my bike.  I agree that everyone seems to have the same grips added on.  There may be a reason for that, though.  The Iso-Grips are a very good looking and functional grip.  My buddy has a set of those pictured on his Goldwing and the only problem I saw was in a rain, those might slip with gloves on.  I haven't ridden his bike in the rain and my leather gloves are a little worn, but the grips felt a  little bit slick when I tried them.  If you try these or find something else you like, let us know what you experience.

...I have CNC 6 Bar grips that are very similar to those. Bought em about 9 years a go when everyone here were buying the Kury ones you see on alot of Valks. Alot of folks were going on about how great the Kury,s were...comfort..style..etc...and they are nice. But I wanted something different from what everyone else had. Ive had many compliments on them over the years, and they are comfortable on long road trips, and held up well. My opinion is if you,re looking for something to "dress up" your handlebars...get em...you wont be sorry.

....been thinkn on getting these Kury,s

I like the kury Iso's.

But for different, I have looked at these several times.

Especially the ones with the built in throttle lock.

And of those, I especially like the braided leather... in colors to match my bike.

Those braided grips sure are sharp cooldude The sweat from my hands (Florida) corrodes the chrome on my Kurry's in short time. I wipe them down after every ride and keep them waxed (pita)

I have 'em and love 'em.  They were among the very first changes I made.  I also have the driver foot pegs with the similar pattern.  I'm told that new rubber is not sold for them, so make sure you get 'em where you want 'em.  That wasn't a problem with the initial installation but when I changed handlebars and had to remove them from the oem bars and install then on the new ones there was lots of pucker factor.
