    Dead easy.

    Plastic throttle tube and threaded through tank (only need to lift it) to battery. Never had a problem. Although obviously they are fatter grips. Piece of piss. Welcome to the world of warm palms!

    ...and use most of the glue on the right grip.

      :789: sorry, use most of the glue on the left grip as I did not and had to re-do it a couple of times after when they got hot the left grip had movement, even after leaving it for a couple of days to set. 

    Cos the right bar has the plastic throttle tube the grip sticks better.

    So here’s the idiot question; how do you get the old grips off first?
