I want to get some new grips: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

*The left and right grips do not have the same inner diameter, so don't frustrate yourself trying to get the left-hand grip onto the throttle; it won't fit. The diameter of the bar and grip is smaller on the left side, but the bar end is the same size on both sides. It may be difficult to get the grip over the bar end on the left side because the bar end is much larger than the grip. A lot of soap and twisting should do the trick.

*Any fun-colored gel grips you get will inevitably be some shade of gray in a week or two.

*One trick you can try is to use compressed air and blow it under the grip. Lift up the outboard edge of the grip, and jet some air under there. Working quickly, you can have a grip on or off in seconds, with no residues to worry about.
