yes it fits perfect in the housing,no cutting or any thing.Where the cables go on the tube is bigger so it stretches the cables and thus making it a quick turn throttle.Your honda grips will fit on it.The only thing that I did was cut the r1 tube on the end as it is about 1/4 inch longer.I used tubing cutter to make a really nice cut.
I believe all r1's tube are the same,but I got it for the earlier years,98-05

 

Do u have to RE glue the NEW grips back ..

 

You dont have to but I would,grip glue costs only about 3 dls.

 

AWESOME consider it a mod done to my bike

 

Just remember that the first time you ride it.It will take off on you alot easier with very little movement.

 

lol thanks ordered parts yesterday, will go GREAT with new "cbr" harris silver/blk grip

 

I installed my NEW grips today (since we been getting snow here I haven't been riding my bike) and there were a B to put on. MY hands are tender from all the twisting I had to do haha..they came out pretty nice. Good fit and good looking.. The stock ones came off easily and I don't think there was any glue @ all. I did not glue the new ones on because it was such a tight fit already. And plus I have bar ends that scew in to the handles. Another MOD done to tha F4i

 

You could have put water on it to act as a lube,then it would slide on with no problem.I always glue mine because in the summer when it's hot,the grip can spin on you and that can be annoying.

 

shootin compressed air into the grip also helps puttin the grips on easily i think

 

Compressed air,water,hairspray or grip glue will all work.
