ISO grip install problem.

I'm trying to install a pair of Kuryakyn ISO grips(#6205) on my 07 FXDWG and am having a problem with the throttle grip binding and not returning when released. It seems as if the inner rubber, recessed edge on the ISO grip where it meets the switch housing is rubbing. I was thinking of using a razor knife and removing this small rubber lip on the inner edge of the grip where it meets the housing. Anyone else have this problem?

I did and it was my cables and not the grip. I lubed the hell out of the cables and took lose the zip ties and reset everything back up until it no longer got in a bind.

Just on a goof - did you check your thumbscrew and make sure it didn't get turn in while you were working on everything?

I would check your cable installation before I started cutting anything on the grip.

heres one for you... did you pull the grip and assembly back 1/8" from the end of the bars.... That will fix you up!
but the end of the grip to the handlebar then pull away the 1/8 an inch.

I guess that means that the ISOs are just slightly shorter on the inside where the bars goes than the HD stockers.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and suggestions, what a great forum!
