Has anyone installed the traction grips on a bike. What is up with the throttle grip? Do I need to replace the whole throttle grip and throttle assembly, or can I just peal off the grip? |

It's an easier job than taking the left grip off the bars. |

Thanks guys, I think it came to me last night. I will do it tonight and report back. (The left grip was a major Bi#$ch. The whole thing was glued and had to be scraped off. I was cursing up a storm! |

The left grip is always difficult. I just cut the left one off and peel as much of it off as I can. Then I use a heat gun & a gasket scraper to get the remaining bits off. The right grip is cake. HD and Buell are kind enough to sell their grips with the throttle grip pre glued to a new throttle barrel. |

But worth it to put on the traction grips... had them on my 03... loved them. |
