Left Hand Switch Housing Switch Binding
After installing new Kahuna grips, I found the horn/TC button was sticking and the toggle switch for scrolling through the lower display was sticking.
I loosened the mounting screws and retightened just enough to maintain the freed up motion of the switches. Its on there, but certainly
not as tight as I would normally tighten a housing.
Normal solution?

Who knows, you might need a replacement left switch pack

No problem. You can still buy the left hand - but it is $275. If you indeed need one - buy the lighted switches - they are $324 per set.
After checking your install, I might suggest you tighten it back down. If it binds, you probably need a new switch pack. You can probably find one here

Did you index the grip in the housing? There is a locater on the grip that holds the grip in only one spot so it wont rotate on the bar.

Thanks, Jake. Yeah, when installing the left grip, it wont seat properly unless you align the tab/notch correctly. It wouldnt lock under the housing unless its indexed correctly. Thanks for the exploded view, I appreciate that!
