No problem. All you have to do to post a link is click on the image of the chain and the globe above where you type your info in and it brings up a window that you paste the link into.

Since I have the Contour XL grips on my ride, thought I'd add my comments.
- The grips in the PDF are the standard Renthal Contours, not the Contour XLs.. The installation seems the same though.
- The instructions don't make any note about the ferrules on the throttle side, which seems to be the biggest stumbling block for people. I found it useful to wad up some masking tape where the throttle and idle cables go into the sleeves, to avoid the possibility of losing them in there.
- If replacing stock grips (like in the PDF), I found it useful on the clutch side to cut the rubber retainer ring off the stock grip. since the PMs just butt-fit. It makes mo difference functionally, but I reuse the cutoff ring to keep dirt and moisture from getting inside the housing.
- Finally, I hadn't thought of dimpling the bar where the set screw joins (like they describe). I don't know that I would trust it though, as I've seen too many people have the left grip come off at an inopportune time. I used grip glue and the set screws... and I used blue Loctite, not red.
