Well, since it's too wet and they closed the Florida Keys down for some chick named Fay, we thought it was time for new grips on Erin. Found these nice grips from "EMGO" called "Buffalo Grips". Made for a 1" bar and way cheaper than the Iso grips. Under 30 bucks for them.  They are also a bit smaller in diameter for my smaller hands. This is how we fit them on Erin;

Grips as stock, not bad but very boring

 


Clutch side was a simple pulled off the stock ones and trim the handle bar back to the weight. It's about a 5/16ths cut. Then it's just add a bit of glue and slide the new one on. Easy peasy.  

Throttle side was a bit more involved. Pulled off the end cap and rubber grip



Then carefully remove the plastic chrome ring and "O" ring from the plastic throttle sleeve



Do the same end cut as on the clutch side, about 5/16ths or to the weight



You will then need to remove the raised parts of the throttle sleeve with a file or rasp being careful not to mar the switch block. Was not hard to do and needed because the EMGO sleeve is too small to slide on without binding the throttle sleeve.



Do a test fit to make sure you got it right and don't have a binding throttle and if it's good the just slather a bit of glue inside the new grip and smack it into place



Erin looks good with the new grips and they feel nice on my hands. All in all a good afternoon project.  Now if anyone needs some stock grip parts...
