If you want an easy life, swap them for a set of 6236 that come with the throttle tube already installed. I say that because I have a set of the black universals on my '05 and it took hours, and I mean hours of grinding off the fins on the throttle body and then sanding down the inside of the grip rubber, and even then (because the strengthening fins had been removed from the throttle tube) the throttle was tight, which meant more hours of sanding the rubber until it was loose on the bars....if I want another set of black grips I'm going to get a chrome set powder coated, it's less work!


Caspian Blue '03 BA, Union Jack/Stars and Stripes paint, BUBs, Progressive 812s, and lots of chrome
