STEP 1: Remove the old grip on the left side of handlebars and clean the throttle tube and the exposed bar end with contact cleaner to remove all grease, glue and other residue.

STEP 2: Spray a light coating of aerosol glue into the grip for the left handlebar. The grip for the left handlebar will always have a smaller hole than the throttle grip. Super 77 adhesive by 3M works great with Biltwell Kung Fu grips. Drain the overspray into a disposable towel before sliding the grip onto the handlebar.

STEP 3: Quickly push and twist the grip firmly onto the handlebar, making sure the inside end butts tightly to the end of the handlebar. Do not beat the grip onto the bar with a hammer. Doing so will turn the bar end into a cookie cutter and puncture the Kung Fu grip end.

STEP 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the throttle side, making sure to use the grip with the larger of the two holes. If the throttle tube on your motorcycle is open-ended, we strongly recommend NOT USING GLUE to install your grips. Glue residue can and will get between your throttle tube and handlebar, resulting in sticky and potentially dangerous throttle performance.
FINISHING UP: Wipe off any glue residue that may have accumulated on the grip flange with a ling-free disposable towel. Do not use strong petroleum-based chemicals like brake cleaner or carb cleaner to clean up after installation, as these fluids can melt the soft rubber material of your new grips. |
