If so what steps need to be takin to get the old ones off and correctly put the new ones on? I have a set of HD drag bars powdercoated and ready to go, just need a little info first. Thanks for any replys!

Its very simple, just dive into it and you'll figure it out. Took me a total of 45 min to install with simple tools on my 08 1200C

if you powdercoated the whole bar you may need to sand down the thottle side. I powdercoated my whole bar and the thottle would stick because of the thickness from the powdercoating. Other than that its pretty straight forward.

Thanks guys for the advice...when they were painted I taped off the bar ends so I wouldn't have problems getting the grips on. Anyone know if glue is necessary? Some say yes and some say no? Thanks
