Default New Grips
Well, the wife got me an early Valentine's Day gift today. Picked up a set of HD Diamond Black grips. Gonna put them on tomorrow. Anything crazy to watch out for?

I found the throttle to be a bit tricky getting the cable/clips to go back in. Patience.

Yeah. Don't lose those little tiny brass cable ends. They hit the ground and disappear. Try to avoid putting any bends in the cable itself where it hooks to the grip. If you do; the cable will soon fray and you'll have to replace it.

Put some Skull grips on mine today. The bike was in for some warranty work (new ignition switch) so I had them install the grips while there for free. Look and feel great.
