Title: Just ordered new suburban!! Grip advice??
Post by: cajrovd on October 06, 2004, 09:54:17 AM
After reading all the posts about how great the suburban handlebar is, I gave in and ordered the kit!!!! :thumb:

Does anyone have some advice with the installation of the bar, things to avoid, mistakes, that sort of thing, esp pertaining to the left grip removal?

Will I really need to buy a new grip or can I safely remove my current grips and put them on the new bar? :dunno:

Should I buy some glue to use on the left grip to adhere to the bar?  :dunno:

good instructions^^
keep the stock grips if possible, the left one shouldn't be too hard to remove and you'll never find grips that cover the throttle sleeve correctly if you trash the right grip, trust me i know.   :cheers:

yep... follow Pablos instructions.  I reused my stock grips and I didn't even need any glue, somehow when I put it back on it just stuck.  :dunno:  I was prepared to try hairspray, but didn't need it.
