Thanks, dudes.

 

Trout, I didn't watch your video close enough the first time and so I couldn't figure how how you did it. I didn't have a pencil thin schnozzle like you, so I had a no-fit situation. (One time I had to make a hole in the end of a foot stool leg insert to upsize my schnozzle for a blow up toy but that is long gone).

Anyway, mine just pulled off easily by twisting them a little. I guess it is the glued ones that are the challenge.

I just put my Progrips on (exactly like yours Trout-how cool ). Actually read the directions for a change and lucky I did. I didn't know that they were two different sizes. That could have been bad. Anyway, short and easy job. Thanks for the tip and the motivation.

 

Thanks, man.
Yeah, the nozzle part is always fun. Sometimes you have to use your MacGyver skillz. I've also used the real thin ones that you use to fill footballs/basketballs (but never soccer *****....LOL).

 

Also, after riding, found out that if you have one of those throttle locks that eats up about a half inch or so of handlebar on the thumb side of your throttle, the new grip might be too long and act as a double throttle lock (which you won't like much).

So don't be afraid to take a razor blade and trim off the right amount of grip on your pinky side. I had to trim off both the raised ridge and the next section. There was a channel there that made it easy and gives you a clean edge.

Now it snaps back like a champ. (cause if it doesn't you sound like someone who doesn't know how to shift ).

I didn't have that problem before, so the last guy who put grips on it must have known this trick, but I never noticed.

 

Joe , good to hear trimming a little off helped you get a better grip on things

 

HA!. I wish.
