got it all set, turns out it WAS the grip, the rubber inside was shot and it was hangging up, replaced the grips and all is well...and it looks cooler too!

Easy fixes are the best fixes! Glad it wasn't more serious.

Great job Jeff. I had the same problem with my 1200C. The grip was binding so tight on the bar it was almost not turning. I greased the bar and the grip. It's nice and slick now.
