TBW throttle grip replacement?

How difficult or tricky is the replacement of the handgrips for the 09 touring bikes with the electronic throttle. any thing to beware of.

Its really easy to replace the grips. The left side is just like any other bike, take off the switch housing and clutch perch then cut the old grip off, sand down the glue they use and slide the new grip on. The throttle side is even easier. Take off the switch housing and brake perch and the grip just slides off. The throttle by wire is in the end of the bar and it looks like a small gear. just slide the new grip on and put the brake perch and switch housing back on and your done. It will take about 20 minutes tops. Just be careful of the brake light switch on the break perch, they are easy to break.

I own an 08 ultra and it really couldn't be any easier. Now some grips may not fit with the TBW but any HD grip for the 08/09 will be an easy install
