Okay I just ordered the Kurakyn grips and throttle boss from Python.
Anything I should know about doing the swap? Thanks.

Yes, the glue that they supply with the grips sets VERY quick. Make sure you have the grip positioned the way that you want it when you slide it on. Once movement stops, the glue sets. Period!!
do yu have to use the supplied glue? i have used hairspray before.......it doesnt set qwite so fast.......what about soapy water?? that works well also.....
just thowing it out there...:ummm: suggestion wise dontcha know...:biglaugh:

i don't think u can use that for metal grips on either metal bars or the plastic throttle tube...

I have used a different glue on my grips after I removed them to be powder coated. I used Loctite Gel Superglue (available at Home Depot). This glue allows more working time & it holds just as good as the glue supplied by Kuryakyn.

HELP!
Ok. No problems on the clutch side, but I'm not too sure about the throttle.
The throttle sleeve has a raised ring next to the switch housing that the grip does not go over.
I slid the grip on....looks like shit with a gap, gotta do something.......
Do I break out the Dremel and grind it down? :confused2:
It doesn't look like I can cut out the inside of the grip without screwing the integrity of the rubber insert........
Any thoughts?

The raised ring positions the stock chrome ring on the inside of the grip. I always have to grind it down to add a friction type throttle lock (on two Maxes of my own and on several friends Maxes). No problem grinding it down unless you plan to put the stock setup back on. Then the chrome ring will not stay neatly against the grip.

On mine, I cut out the rubber on the grip so it could slide on farther.
