installing the handle bar...(sirinyth)

[jkstyle834]

i dont get how you can take the grip off the left side.. (clutch side).. it's glued on like crazy... do i just force it out?? what is the pipe size? so i can get the bar ends...

To get the grip off you just have to work a thin screwdriver under it. This way you get the glue. Then just put something thin between the prip and the Light switch box (the one housing the high/low beam switch) and pull the grip off. The more you squeeze the grip the harder it will be. The more you bend or try to force the grip the harder it will be. The more you curse and strugle, the harder it will be. The more you... you get my point. Once the glue has been broken it needs a gentle touch. Also, when reinstaling it, just push it onto the bar by using the palm of your hand (it slides right on).

so i dont have to re-glue it??

Re glueing is not exactly needed... Just use soapy water and it will dry into sticky stuff. You should push the grip out from the inside ... with the part near the switch ... after breaking the glue ... WD40 spray works well ... pulling on the loose end makes the rubber shrink in dia abd grip the bar harder ...  remember Poisson's law... The clutch fitting should be loosened by sticking a small screw driver in the opening and gently prying it open.... they tend to close on tightening ... and switches no problem there ... they split open and come into 2 halves but make sure you dont touch the choke fitting (small metal tab on bottom and the plastic spring loaded resistance piece inside it...)

well as you know i posted.. i put on your bars.. it looks awsome and i think it will handle lot better too... anyway... my whole choke thing fell apart... i just put it back toghether... and when i started it... it choked just fine... could i have messed something up and it might still be working?? should i go back in there to take a good look at it??
