STEP 10
Some motorcycles have the switch housings “pinned” in place making it impossible to relocate
them. If the exposed handle bar on the clutch side is shorter than the length of the ISO-Grip, the
end rubber will not be fully supported once installed. Measure the length of exposed handle bar on
the clutch side. Measure the depth of the left grip. Subtract the length of the handlebar from the
depth of the grip; this will give you the length of the spacer required. Using a hack saw or utility
knife, cut the spacer to length and de-burr.
STEP 11
Insert the spacer into the clutch grip and slide it down as far as possible onto the handlebar to
push the spacer all the way to the end. Rotate the grip to determine the orientation that is most
comfortable. Be sure to line up the new grip to match the throttle side. Make a mental note
of the location or make a non-permanent mark on the grip and/or switch housing. Remove the
grip.
Use extreme care when using the glue included with this kit. Read all
precautions and avoid contact with skin or eyes.
Cover any area of the motorcycle where the glue could possibly drip during
installation.
STEP 12
With an ammonia based cleaner or similar degreasing agent and a clean rag, wipe off the exposed
handlebar and the inside of the grip to remove any contaminates. Insert the spacer from STEP 11,
if needed, into the clutch side grip. Take the supplied tube of adhesive and squeeze a good
amount of glue onto the inner side walls of the clutch grip. Rotating the grip while applying the
glue will help distribute it evenly. Make sure you get the glue all the way to the end of the rubber
insert in the grip.
The adhesive supplied sets up ALMOST INSTANTLY in the absence of air. There is
enough time to slide the grip into place, but ONCE IT STOPS MOVING, IT CANNOT
BE ADJUSTED.
STEP 13
In one smooth motion, slide the grip onto the handlebar and into position. Rotate it back and forth
slightly as you slide it on to help distribute the glue evenly and keep the grip from “plowing” the
glue up against the switch housing. Be sure to line up the new grip to match the throttle
side. You must work quickly to get the desired position before the glue dries.
(Approx. 6 seconds)
STEP 14
Once in place, squeeze the grip firmly to press the rubber against the bar and hold for 15 seconds.
