Anyone had issues installing aftermarket grips?
The avons I have tried putting on are definately for TBW. You have to muscle them on the throttle side, so much friction that it wont return on the snapback.
Put stock grip on and it's smooth as butter.

Now to top it off. My calipers are leaking???
I can understand one? But how do both have a slight weep?
I noticed some some streaks on my wheels, then saw a small pooling of fluid (which I would have to assume is brake fluid) at the bottom of the calipers.
Bike is literally 2 rides old.

I am in the midst of lucky Dave 13 inch bar install on the 16 fxdls and I removed the gas tank during the process. Accidently ripe out the molex plug under the fuel tank. There are 3 wires coming from the fuel tank black orange yellow. And 3 wires on the bike blue white and grey/green. I need to figure out which order to put the tank wires back into the molex plug. Anyone have a clue? All the dealers in my area don't have the manual.
I am about to install the same bars. What size Cables did you have to buy? I tried PMing you but can not figure out how to send one on this board, haha. Thanks.
I just installed (still need called to arrive) Hardcase 9.5" risers & Forbidden MX bars & need 6" over stock. From what I found on the clutch cable it's either Magnum Shielding or Drag Specialties. Brake lines there's several options, but I'm bypassing the ABS & going custom lines.

Any pics of the hardcase / forbidden setup?
I have the HCP 9.5 and fat bars sitting in my garage waiting to go on. I'm second guessing the height though, and am considering either 7" riders or a bar with less rise. I have magnum shielding cables and lines on the way too.

I had no issues at all when I put on some ones I bought from the dealer. If anything else it moves better now. Didn't need any force to get them on.
