@@rednecktech82 No I just completed install. However I dropped that little brass part off the cable and took me 10 min to find it all is well. P.S. What you did in 5 min took me 45.
Thanks @Redneck Tech... really good & straight forward video instruction! Doesn't appear to be much different than changing the grips on a 2003 V-Rod. I've changed-out the Left side handgrips already and it went just as you described in your video!
The only adjustment you should need is the large plastic turn screw located on the underside of the right handlebar in between the 2 throttle cables. Just turn that knob until you get the desired response in the controls which is to have the throttle snap freely back into position after you pull back on it and release it.
ISSUE: Right turn indicator button on switch housing won't depress after installing new hand grips. I recently changed the hand grips on my 1997 Harley Davidson FXDL. While doing so, I "lost" one of the cable ferrules (little brass barrels that the throttle cables fit into on the hand grip). If I would have listened to the guy in this video who stated to take the little cable barrels off and put them aside I could have avoided this entire matter. This was mentioned at the 1 minute, 2 seconds point in the video. But I didn't take his advice and as warned one of the barrels fell off. Read on. The result of all of this after reassembly was that my new grips worked great but the right turn indicator button would not depress. At this point I was unable to signal a right turn. The fix: I unscrewed both screws on the switch housing as the beginning of this video shows. I couldn't figure out why the right turn signal wouldn't depress so I got a flashlight and shined it into the lower part of the switch housing where the turn indicator button is located. Sure enough, the "lost" cable ferrule was lodged behind the turn indicator button. I used needle nosed pliers to remove it, reassembled the switch housing, and the turn button now worked perfectly. I hope that if anyone else experiences this annoyance, a fix is easily at hand. REMEMBER, remove the ferrules as the video suggests when changing the throttle grip.
Hands-down, the best grip replacement video on TH-cam, thanks!
Thank you
God bless you Sir. That was the best handgrip replacement vid I have ever seen I hope it will work on my 2002 Heritage carb scoot.

Dis you say passanger side?????
Lol, yup
Great video, very simple and to the point. Thank you very much
Thank you, I appreciate the support!
Thanks for showing the way on this. Much appreciated.
Thanks for a clear explanation
Great video. I have seen other instructions that refer to using glue when sliding the grips back on. Not sure about that.
I did that my first go around a few years back, I highly recommend avoiding that if at all possible lol
Thank you for the vid
Awesome cheers mate great video. Other videos on here are so long in the tooth.
Did you not adjust your throttle cables
The only adjustment you should need is the large plastic turn screw located on the underside of the right handlebar in between the 2 throttle cables.

@@rednecktech82 ok i thought you had to adjust ur cables
@@jordanasel3745 No, only if you were replacing the cables themselves.
@@rednecktech82 ok
@Jordan Asel, are you talking about loosening the tension on the 2 throttle cables below the switch housing?
Great video, thank you.
I have the same bike year and color! Hell ya
