Question on Changing Handlebars and Grips
09/28/07 at 10:17:46
Installing new handlebars and changing grips this weekend. I did not see anything in the tech section on grip/handlebar changes (other than the one with the missing video links). A search didn't bring me anything usable. I did find a general how-to on another website. So, does anyone have any links or pointers on how to go about changing handlebars and grips? Mainly the grips part (new grips). Any tricks to it that I need to be aware of for the savage?
Thanks.

Also, the how-to mentions glue. What type of glue do I use?

Here are several I found on a search. The first is one I'd begun when replacing my handlebars. The rest center around grips and one has some glue suggestions. The last one has a nicely bulleted list of what Susan and her husband did when replacing grips and installing a throttle lock.

Excellent! Just what I was looking for. Any chance of getting this in the tech section for others?
(Rob, sorry to make you do the work. Don't know why I didn't see these when I did the search. They look so obvious now.)

Absolutely! When you finish yours, write up a procedure with hints and tips and add it to the Tech Doc/Ref forum. Don't forget pictures!
