I can bring my manual if needed. I know real men don't look at directions, but sometimes it mentions some things that will enhance performance or longevity. I read it once about graphite too, I have some in case I did it at maintence intervals. I'll bring that too.
Btw, why don't you do it b4 the g2g? I mean..why procrastinate? (coming from a guy that takes months to get his bike running
)
I could change your grips for ya, but it may take a few days!

You don't need the manual to install grips. I know all the steps.
Phil has done the throttle side before, so I'll just give directions on the left side...
p8ntr, you want to watch closely, bein as yer havin a problem doin em the correct way.
I'm fairly strong for my age, so I'll hold the grip with the open end pointed away from me.
While Phil's puttin the throttle side on, Sp/murph/JustDave/and maybe some one else heft the bike in the air. 1of2 should be free, so he can steady the front end. Now, on the count of three you guys holdin the bike need to shove it into the grip for me!
