Sometimes it's not always obvious to people, so...

How To: Replace Your Stock Grips

[tzortn]

Good write up. How long did the procedure take?

[Teh_K]

Factoring in that we did 2 bikes (about at the same time), and that we had never done this before, and that I was pausing to take photos.... I wanna say an hour or so total.

[Black_peter]

Nice write p..
Good job with the photos too..

I had a terrible time with my throttle grip.
It went on with out too much trouble.
I didn't want to cut the flange at the front of the
throttle though and never got it to match right..
however now the grip is splitting (after 2 weeks)
because of the thicker Kat throttle..
(the "ribs")
Anyone know a grip that really fits the Kat??

Gee those grips look familiar. I have the same ones, and they work great.

Nice write up, worthy of a sticky !

It does take alittle more effort to save the grip off the throttle side, but if u work the screwdriver around gently as described and take ur time, it can be done..I was able to save mine. But it is a bit of a royal pain.

[Black_peter]

OK well since this is a sticky..
How about everyone listing what grips fit well??

[crazkene13]

Umm.. if you shoot compressed air into one end of the things while sliding them off or on you need no lube and no effort. I had mine swapped in less than 10 minutes and they're identical to yours. Sorry this advice is a little late.

nice write up. what kind of grips are those?

[md86]

Damn , I HAVE those grips , but I can't remember what the hell they are .... They were only like $7 , though . Hey Wildmat , what kind of grips do we have ?

[Teh_K]

Hm, good idea crazkene13 - now that you mention it, I think I remember reading that in another thread a while back... but, this is a way you can do it if you don't have an air compressor

Anyway, for the record, they are ProGrip #719. On their website: Grips->Super BK->Dual

Pro Grips, gel grips..

[robm]

anyone try the pro grip 725 EVO? It looks like it has the same dimension so I'm assuming it will fit correctly.
