Looking at the instructions they refer you to the service manual. The left grip looks easy. Any suggestions/tips on the r/r of the right grip ?

thanks Greg 07 fxdb

 

i'm in the same boat...waiting on my service manual to show up

 

not a prob... here is how you do it...
1. open up switch housings
2. take razor and cut off clutch side grip
3. loosen throttle cables
4. remove cables from grip (do not lose the brass throttle stays)

install new grip, tighten cable
add a few drops of super glue gell on the clutch side grip and slide that on, put switch housings bck together... done!

 

Yeah, what JRK said. I don't really see the need for a manual for this job.

 

i also like to add a bit of marine grease to the throttle side when i slide that on... but there is not a 100% need for that

 

Check out this Instruction Sheet for 70222-96B ...chrome switch housing kit pages 2 and 5....

 

Don't even see the need for the superglue. Changed grips on my sporty and my fx and didn't have to cut either grip off. New grips on, tighten the housings down, good to go. Couple of years and thousands of miles and no problems

 

Thanks, I did a search and found a "how to video". Those videos make it look easy. Got it done.

thanks again Greg 07 fxdb

 

i always glue my grips on... i saw a guy get off his bike to push it back into the space, his clutch side grip spun, twisted the bars, and the bike went down... after that, a bit of super glue is a easy safety measure to take. when you need them off it breaks free easy enough that is why i do it on all my bikes and customer bikes

 

i came here looking for some help with the fly by wire grip replacement....then I found Ghostrider69's message.....kinda lost my focus for a while... back to the topic. is the fly by wire any different? is there some little a$$ spring that's gonna hit the floor or anything I should be watching?
