The sleeve will have raised ribs. These ribs will have to be cut off using a Stanley Knife or a Dremel tool. You then just add some glue and slip the new grip over the throttle sleeve. If you ever want to go back to stock, you will need to buy a new throttle sleeve (around $10.00) Plus the rubber grip."



In my experience it was a bit more work than this to fit the throttle sleeve. Removing the ribs as described above was not sufficient by a long shot. About 1 to 2mm need to be ground off the stock plastic throttle sleeve as well to get a very tight fit. I used a dremmel and sandpaper to finish off. Soap was required to get the new grip on and was so tight that no glue was necessary.

Also - you don't need to cut the stock grip off. I managed to peel it back on itself (turning it inside out in the process). That way you can re-install if you wanted to - however you would need to pack you ground-down sleeve with something.

Cheers, Richard
