Replacing right throttle grip 2011 ultra
I have a new pair of grips for a 2011 Ultra. The one page instructions say to refer to the service manual on how to remove and replace the throttle grip Any one know how this is done without spending another $60 on a service manaul?

Remove the 2 screws that hold the collar on and the old one should slide right off. Go easy when you slide the new one on and make sure that the plastic gears are seated. It really is that simple on bikes that don't have throttle cables.

I did mine without a manual. Strt with the switch housings and then gently pull on the throttle cap where the little potentiometer is wired to the grip. Be gentle...

Hope that You are not using the Kury ISO grips. I found Them to have a very sloppy fit on the throttle side. Comfortable Yes, but I could'nt stand how much movement there was. Went with the HD grips. Happy Camper now.

Maybe if you're installing after market grips. When I installed my HD Get-a-Grips, I had to put the left one on first. They are not glued on but a collar fits into the switch housing. It will only sit in one position. After putting the left one on, then you install the right one which can be placed anywhere where the gears in the end mesh up. It too is held by the switch housing. Easy install.

I'll bring this subject / thread, back to life. For the life of me, I can't get the cover off / removed, on the throttle side. Can only remove 3 screws.... the '4th' .. is a mystery ... did a quick video showing my problem..

... I'm 99% sure this is a Kuryakn part.... after i posted that video, got on their site and found what I believe to be the part ... pics.. .. and .. the instructions... but .. I'll be damned if I can find this 'hidden screw'... even emailed them for clarification ... I went out yet again last night ... one more look knowing I must be blind.. apparently .. I am 
NOTE The OEM switch housing uses a fastener directly in the middle of the top half housing. Thesereplacement chrome switch housings feature a hidden fastener, which gives a much nicer appearanceand a flowing upper finish. Both chrome switch housing fasteners will be inserted through the lowerswitch housing. Mounting holes are located at the right rear and the left front of the lower switchhousing
