As long as the grips aren't too slippery, I don't care.
I had a pair of Marsee gloves that I really liked. Wish they still made that style.
I do not like foam grips. I don't find that they dampen vibration much and they are too fat.
My Harley friends and family highly endorse Kuryakyn grips.
I think that might be more of a style thing.
I made it back in one piece from my trip and the spider grips were great, I to wear gloves all the time (although i have thin hands and fingers) so there's not much meat to obsorb.. ive not personally found much difference in glove performace with there perspective groups: gauntlet, short mesh, lether mx style.. in the long run other than feel most gloves have always seemed to offer about the same amount of dampening in my opnion. I had 24,xxx on the R1 with the factory grips still on there but rock hard and slippery, they even had a bit of a glossy sheen to them. The spiders are great, ive not had any real hand pain to speak of since swapping them out. Great buy !
