Title: ISO Grips Post by aebooze on 02/28/09 at 18:26:37 Just to make sure before I spend the money to order these grips. The S40 is a 1" bar and I can install these grips without the assistance of the base machine shop right? |

Title: Re: ISO Grips Post by serowbot on 02/28/09 at 18:47:29 Yes, 1" bars...... and use rubbing alcohol to remove an install grips, makes them slide on and off like butter for 5 seconds then evaporates.... |

When you put the new grips on use grip glue or grip tape. Do not use nothing and/or hair spray. I am talking from experience here. Almost had a grip come off on the highway once. Would not have been fun if I hadn't caught it in time. |

Title: Re: ISO Grips Post by slowfaller on 03/04/09 at 06:41:43 Be ready to do some sanding. The throttle sleeve has ribs and two collars that need to be sanded down for the grip to fit. A dremel tool works really well. |

Title: Re: ISO Grips Post by sakara on 03/05/09 at 08:54:49 You gotta hyper link them in. Use the little picture icon (third on the upper left of the dialog box when posting) and copy and paste the url of your picture. I post pics to bikepics, facebook, myspace, snapfish, photobucket etc them link them from there. |

Title: Re: ISO Grips Post by aebooze on 03/06/09 at 17:28:55 Ok, after a couple beers and some quality time with a dremel tool, I think I'm all done. Definately an improvement in comfort for my hands. I'll try and paste pictures after I get them uploaded. |

Title: Re: ISO Grips Post by slowfaller on 03/06/09 at 22:47:04 So how did the throttle side treat ya? Did you use rubbing alcohol or not need it? (I've been putting off my throttle side since I bought my new bike) Edit: looks great by the way 8-) |

Title: Re: ISO Grips Post by aebooze on 03/07/09 at 04:19:48 The throttle side wasn't too bad, probably because I tried taking the left grip off first so I wouldn't mess up the throttle if I did something wrong! I worked a small screwdriver under the rubber from the inboard end, then I kinda rolled it back until I pulled it off. Had to use a dremel for a while and sand everything smooth. Didn't have any good cleaners in my garage, so I sprayed brake cleaner on a shirt and wiped it off with that. Applied glue and hoped I wouldn't be seen soon walking down the street with a nice grip, and both of my hands glued to my forehead. ;D |
