I don't know much about changing the grips but it's time. I'm searching online and I see some that have the throttle tube and some don't. Is the throttle tube separate from the grip? What do I really need?

Jell grips...22mm or 7/8. Getting them off is easy, cut those bitches off. Putting them on...use the search, interesting ideas on that."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

Thanks guys. A few things I didn't know. Like the length. I'm glad I didn't just go off and buy a pair. How does the grip come off the throttle tube? Do I have to open up the housing? The ones that are on there now seem to be pretty snug. I can't get it to move and don't want to break something other than the grips.

So I measured my old grips. What I was coming up with was 5 and 7/8. The ones that are online are 5 and 3/8 I believe. Is that what my grips actually should be? I'm thinking that mine are swollen whereas they are in bad shape. Is 5 and 3/8 what I should be purchasing?

1/2" swollen or stretched!!!! No...measure the throttle tube.
I can't remember what the length was, off hand."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

Hmmmm, I'll have to dig on that, I have replaced that.
Ok, I picked up a snap ring set at O'reilly's auto parts that had a snap ring set, one fit.Last edited by 92xjunker; 03-13-2016, 12:53 AM."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

I have a magnetic broom for that issue. It's just a magnetic bar on wheels with a release. Life saver. Granger sells them cheap."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."
