TOOLS
SUGGESTED
Sharp knife or utility knife. Medium
sandpaper strip. Solvent (acetone, alcohol,
etc.), T-25 torx wrench (96'newer models) or
1/8" Allen wrench ('82-'95 models),
3/8" and 10mm Open end wrenches, Clean rag,
Needle nose pliers, H-D shop manual for your
year and model of bike.
CAUTION
Read and follow
all label warnings on the adhesive container. We
recommend placing a clean rag over painted or
chromed surfaces to protect these finishes from
glue drips. Work carefully.
PROCEDURE-LEFT SIDE
Step 1 Remove the existing
grip. One method of removing the stock left side
grip is to carefully slice the grip lengthwise
down to the handlebar, and then around the grip
where it meets the switch housing. Peel the grip
from the bar. Completely sand all grip and glue residue
from the handlebar. Clean the exposed bar
completely with solvent. Wipe the inside of the
rubber grip inserts completely clean with
solvent.
NOTICE This
adhesive will set up IMMEDIATELY
in the absence of
air. If you hesitate even for an instant while
sliding these grips into place, the grip will
bond permanently in that location!
Step 2 Apply
glue to the inside of the girp. Try to get the
one entire tube of glue distributed evenly
inside the grip.
Step 3 In
one smooth motion, slide the grip into your
desired installation position. (We
recommend having a row of ISO-Pads across
ones palm.)
PROCEDURE-RIGHT SIDE
NOTE We Suggest consulting your
service manual for additional instructions concerning
this procedure.
Step 4 Roll or slide the rubber
cable adjustment covers back so the adjusters
are exposed. Make a reference mark on each
section of exposed threads, or at least make a
mental note of how much thread is exposed on
each adjuster-this will be helpful when you
re-adjust the cables. Using your 3/8" and
10mm open-end wrench loosen the lock nut on the adjuster
and collapse it ( shorten the cable housing) as
far as you can-this provides maximum cable
slack.
Step 5 Separate
the switch housings.
Step 6 Rotate
the cable so it points directly away from the throttle
sleeve and slide the cables out of the sleeve.
(Careful, don't lose the small brass ferrules on
the cable ends-they're not attached.)
Step 7 Remove
the existing grip from the handlebar. This is a
good time to lubricate your throttle and idle
cable. Be careful not to knock the small
crescent shaped nylon "shoe" off of
the thumbscrew in the bottom of the switch
housing-this is the throttle lock device. If the
shoe is knocked loose, it can wedge against the
throttle sleeve and cause the throttle control
to stick.
Step 8 Install
the ISO-Grip in the same manner as the stock
grip was removed. Double check to be sure the
throe friction shoe is in place on the
thumbscrew.
Step 9 Re-assemble
the switch housing.
Step 10 Adjust
the throttle and idle cables. (Refer to STEP 4.)
The cables should have a very small amount of
slack, and still allow the carb to reach wide
open throttle. Be certain the throttle cannot
stick in any position. Tighten the locknuts
against the adjusters and replace the rubber
covers.
Step 11 The
angle of the Throttle Boss can be changed slightly
by loosening the four socket head screws at the
end of the right grip, rotating the chrome palm
rest, and re-tightening the four screws. More
extreme adjustments will require you to remove
the four socket heads and reposition the palm
rest on the grip and retighten
.GOOD LUCK!
