Lemmy, Lemmy you are the man. I find I watch all of you DIY videos and more. So articulate and easy in your explanations. You'd make a great teacher except for the beer and ice cream. On second thought that might be a good thing too. Thanks

seeing lemmy "wrestle" that grip did things for me

Went through two other videos, this is by far the best one on this topic IMO! Thanks I feel very comfortable doing my own work.

Lemmy, I am a first time PROUD Harley owner and I don't know much about them but love to tinker. Your videos are great! Thank you!!

I could listen to Lemmy talk about motorcycles for days. What a good guy.

Just started customizing my motorcycle for the first time. This guy made me so excited to start work and was amazing with the information. Just overall funny and to the point which I loved! Thanks for the awesome videos man, please keep them coming!

Thanks Lenny. I ordered some new grips and started getting concerned that I messed up. Right up until you told us about cable throttle while doing fly by wire. So much relief to see it look like the one I ordered

Like everyone else said, you are great at how to videos! Thanks for giving us the confidence to tackle these projects and know we did it right.

Lemmy, thanks for the great instructional video! I installed my own grips just by watching your excellent explanation. Love your presentation and humor. Also, you got me into beer and ice cream! Life just does not get much better.

Late to the party, but wow.. alot of clear and effective thorough coverage in 15 minutes. That's what I like about you boys at Revzilla. Not a wasted second on your DIY videos Thanks for sharing. Be well

Thank you Lemmy. You give great instructions. Just replaced my grips. Super easy process with your instructions. Thanks.

Thanks for the videos. I wanna buy my first bike next year and am learning as much as I can and you have helped a lot. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial. I have one suggestion. I put two pieces of masking tape ... one on the handlebar and one on the clutch or brake assy. I line up a small tape arrow to show the rotate position of the levers. Then they can go back to the same angle when you re-tighten.

So changing an exhaust is a 1 on the beard scale but changing grips is a 2 😂 love the content btw

Excellent video man. I just did the grips on my 16 Street Glide and strangely enough it was harder to do the clutch side because the instructions said you had to push it on quickly due to the glue setting up!! 😳 all is good and they look great! Thanks for your help

thank you Lemmy and Revzilla, always helpful and appreciated!!

great video just ordered new grips for my heritage and will view this video one more time before I switch them out.

I have to say thank you for the video. Got new grips and was going to pay, someone to replace them. So glad I didn't. You saved me extra money and gave me a feeling of accomplishment. Took less than a half hour too. Look forward for more help from your videos.

He's the best--born instructor. Way to go! Thanks for the video.

That isopropyl alcohol trick was absolutely phenomenal, thanks Lemmy!

I appreciate all the helpful videos, guys! Revzilla kicks ass!

Lemmy, you make it entertaining and educational. My bike was "dropped" (I didn't do it) but never the less the left grip was punched out just like you said will happen if you pound the grips as you get to the end of the install, so a replacement pair is in order and this video will help. Your comments about the right side clamshell has me curious though, I think when I adjusted my controls after repositioning my bars (after the bike was dropped) has caused my tail light, only my tail light to stop working? Bet it has something to do with those sensitive connections under there. Wish I had discovered a video about that before I tried moveing them. Enjoy your videos, thank you.

Thanks a ton! This really helped. I’m not an ace wrench, but, I’m not a monkey either. This is first attempt at changing grips, and thanks to you, I won’t be paying outrageous labor costs!! Y’all rock!!!

Lemmy, please create a video on different brands of heated grips and how to install new ones/replace old ones. Thanks and keep up the good work.

First off, Remmy, you rock! I wanted to know how to change the grips on my '14 Iron, and you finally told me. What is the SKU/name/# of that grip that you installed on the Sportster? Please KEEP being yourself on these videos. It keep them real.

Great vid! Gave me the confidence to change out my grips.

Love these vids! Lemmy is a legend, just about to purchase my first Harley so soaking up as much knowledge and advice I can :)

Thanks for this detailed how to. Feel much better now know that this is something that I can do.

Good video. Appreciate it. Replaced mine on a ‘82 FXRS after watching this.

Thanks for the video! I need to get new grips put on my '16 road king, with nearly 50k miles on it the factory grips have seen better days 😅

excellent quality video. very informative.

...thanks for this video,first time i see replacing the ,,ride by wire,, grips.Well done.Enjoy your beer!

Lemmy, you're the best... Not your fault but I've had 3 Kuryakyn throttle grips break on my Triumph 1600 in three years. The plastic bit holding the end of the throttle cable (barrel) keeps breaking and releasing the cable. I send pictures to Kuryakyn and talk to them but it. Each replacement breaks. There is NOT a extreme pull (tension) on the throttle cable. Sort of defective plastic/design if you ask me.

Thanks bro for the help i can now change my honda valkirey grips

I solely liked this video initially for the alcohol comment lol lemmy you're great man keep it up!

If this is 2ish on difficulty, what does that make replacing rod bearings?

Replaced the grips on my 2016 Harley Low Rider S.. Thanks to Lemmey I did both of them in 15 minutes!!!!

I heated my grips using a heat gun. Pull as you twist, twist, twist and off they go. It was so easy. Just heat the grips really good, and use gloves. Mine didn't hint of any melting.

Great video......question, I just installed Avon grips on my 18 electra glide ultra classic, I noticed on the throttle side that there is some inward and outward play, almost spring like on the grip while trying to tighten clam shell....if that makes sense...is there a proper preload so to speak? I held mine in as I tightened, and seems like throttle doesn't want to spring back 100% when released....maybe I need to loosen back up to allow it to not be preloaded?

hi there,can you do a vid on changing bars,with throttle cables? Thanks

Thank Lemmy! Well done man!

Hey,I just ordered a clubman bar from revzilla for my Harley Street 750. I am a little worried that my brake line might need to be a little longer but not sure what cable I will need for my bike, if you can help me with that it would be much appreciated. I am also gong to remove my metal grips, and just wanted to make sure the a grip glue is not necessary. Just take of from my old bar and put it on the new bar.

I'm in Florida and I have installed 2 sets so far on my Yamaha Vstar and always the left handle grip has failed twice .One time my left grip slipped off while accelerating and I almost got in an accident. I am pissed off by after market grips.I had two incidents where left grip slipped off. Could this be caused by humidity?

Should I glue the universal ISO grips so I can keep my throttle lock? will they set okay with the alcohol?

Hey Lemmy, how do I take the clutch side handlebar grip off if it has metal ends and it's glued on?

Video was very helpful. You rock 🤟

Hey Man. Thanks for the great video. Very helpful as always. I gotta ask how beer and ice cream taste? Never seen that before... Cheers.

hey, Remmy, great video. I've got a bike w ride-by-wire and wanted to install mirrors at the handle bar ends, not sure if that's gonna work w ride-by-wire

Great video! Just bought a 2016 night rod special and just bought new grips that are the chrome/rubber type. Will they work?

14:50 hey Lenny. Trying to change our grips on my 2017 street glide and on the new grips I do not see the small "gear" inside the grip. Throttle side. Should I abandon the install? Please help Jim

The air trick nor the cutting trick worked for taking of my grip on the throttle tube, now it’s just coming off in pieces

Thanks for the vid Lemmy. I followed everything step by step but my top cable wouldn't loosen enough in order to rotate everything to the right position. In fact, the top cable was really tight trying to get it in there. Trying to install Avon grips with throttle boss on my 99 Road King and the throttle boss is pointed straight up to the sky! Any suggestions?

Thank you, thank you! Any way to remove the stock grip without destroying it?

What is an appropriate amount of time to let the alcohol dry?

Got my grips on (thanks for the video) but the front brake lever only closes about a quarter inch now. Any suggestions on how I can fix this so it closes all the way again?

Awesome video! I am thinking of getting the same grips for my Vulcan Custom, My big thing is I am going to get the dealer to do it as I don't really feel confidant yet for installing stuff on my new bike lol! I just hope they put them on correctly and line them up otherwise I will go nuts haha! So when you say wait before riding... How long should someone wait before riding?

I want to hang out with this guy

hey Lemmy I recently changed my grips on my 08 Honda Shadow and during the process I completely forgot to loosen the cable adjuster for the barrel cable and was able to get the old grips off and new ones on but in the process of getting the new ones one I bent my cable a little down from the Farrel and it's seems OK but is that a must change part for this honestly I really wish I would have watched this video first it would have save me $40

What about grips on bikes with heated grips?

omg. best video. thank you.

What year is that you are working on. I just bought a 2015

I installed Arlen Ness Fusion Knurled grips (bought from yall @ RevZilla) on my '18 Street Glide...followed Lem Lem's advice and went slow. Quick question about Clutch side. I cleaned and sanded everything off, and clocked the grip as I wanted it...and wanted to see how it looked and fit before using grip glue...and once slid all the way on...it is not moving. This doesn't seem like a huge issue for me, as it looks and works as it should....however, I am concerned that it might eventually slip off...thoughts?

Can you give us the link for those grips installed on the street glide? Also, I've had my right side switch pack replaced due to a defect. After I got the bike back, I've noticed the grip will slip from the fly by wire unit and lose the throttle. Then after some readjusting the grip, it will fall back in place. All this while riding. Something is wrong obviously. Like to fix this myself, concerned about the dealer..that should have been an easy no prob fix for them...Thanks for all your help Lemmy!

I'm getting ready to install a set of Get a Grip hand grips on my 18 Road Glide and the instructions say to torque the fasteners for the clamshells to a specific setting. How important is it to follow that specifically? Or can I just tighten them as you do in the video?

Lemmy, I want to put some Vans grips on my 12 wide glide with a cable throttle. Can I just slice the rubber off the stock grips and proceed like normal?

Road king 2015 same procedure?

has anyone tried alcohol AND grip glue? I find grip glue dries WAY too fast to stick the grip on (only like 30 seconds to apply and install), and alcohol doesn't grip ENOUGH for long enough (I like my grips to last years). what I found was to swish the alcohol in the grip itself, then coat the handlebar/throttle sleeve with grip glue, then the grip slides RIGHT onto the grip glue'd bar.... once the alcohol dries quickly it allows the grip cement to lock the grip down tightly and not come loose like alcohol tends to do.

What's a good glue to use to put the grip on or an alternative please

Thanks man!

Why not give the sizeof the torx bit needed in both areas? Shall we guess?

dirt bike grips on a Harley, nice....not common, but hey their easy to replace right?

Is there any adhesive for the clutch side to bond the grip to the bar?

Excellent video, thanks Lemmy! Do you think its safe to scrub the inside of the caliper with a toothbrush or something after spraying it with brake cleaner? I feel like a rag isn't going to get all the grime and brake dust out of mine. I dont wanna leave any fibers from the toothbrush in the inner workings of the caliper though. What's the best way to get it cleaned out?

I have a 1998 sporsterand my grips are made out of metal. How do I remove those?

Guess I'm gonna try my install with the rubbing alcohol

hey guys........... as you know I ride a 06 Kawi Z750s.... and it tipped through a pair of fence slates in a fall. pulling the end cap away from the fully sealed position.... it's seized the endcap to where if I try anything it's trying to strip the Screw... any suggestions? also I can't seem to reply to one of the other videos you guys answered me on so I honestly appreciate ALL the info you've provided me with.

Hi Lemmy, on a 2019 street glide with an electric throttle, should the grip slide side to side after it has been installed? I can’t recall if the factory grip did and it does now on mine.

Hello Lemmy, I have 2013 Sportster 72, Do I need to remove the switch housing to install the grip on my bike as in other videos??

why do you add alcohol to the left grip?

hi i have hard grips on my bike now and am replacing with a different style. i need to know how to take the hard grip on the clutch side off without damage. can you help? i haveheard of using air to blow it off but haven't started yet. let me know. thanks

I'm guessing while you have the throttle cables off would be a good time to lube them?

Lemmy! Question. I'm looking at installing the Kuryakyn Iso grips (black!), like the ones in the video. I have a Fat Bob (2015!), so dual-cable throttle. I read the instructions that Kuryakyn includes, and they suggest glue for the clutch side grip. It seems like you are suggesting (both in the article and in video) that this is unnecessary. You suggested alcohol? Am I getting that right? Or should I be using glue? You have the final word, brother. Thanks again!

hey mate, seb here from Australia. if you have not done a video on the install of heated grips can you make one or send me the link?

I was gonna ask what the ice cream scoop was for, like maybe a whiskey float. Close enough haha

What is the diameter for an Iron 883 Grips? Thanks

My clutch side grip on my 2011 Street Glide will literally spin freely and will not slip off. The grip will literally spin while holding onto it. This is extremely unsafe as well as annoying. This just happened 2 days ago after I gave my bike a thorough washing. How in the world can the grip do this? So now I am in the market for some new grips (to replace the stock ones). Any thoughts or suggestions???

07 superglide, I have get a grips on it, how do I get them off without wrecking them

Thanks Lemmy

What are the torx sizes for this?

Lemmy, i want to install those grips u installed on the sportster on my sporty...they looked like biltwell kung fu grips....but biltwell says i need new throttle tube....is this so? H-D dealer wanted to sell me throttle tube too for grips i found on a clearance table....i's confused..thanks..and plz forgive my jrunken ramblins

How do you replace a grip with bar end light signals without cutting the cords?

Because mine seems to go inside the housing.

Wait so dont clean the residue on the handlebar and then just slide in the new grip without loctite or glue?

The idea of cutting the clutch side off freaks me out. Do you do that cause it's easier ? Or do you have to cut it off ? I'd rather not cut anything hahaha (2019 heritage softail)

i have my stock grips on my harley XL883N and i know they are built into the throttle wiring... My question is... can i just cut off the stock grips, but leave the portion that is connected to the clamped on controls and wiring for the throttle and simply slip-on the new grips and the throttle will work?

are 2015 Street Glide grip replacement the same as vid replacement grips shown for non cable throttle grips? btw ur doing great on vid's tips...

Next time have a Guinness with your ice cream!

Is the install the same for heated hand grips?

why would you cut the grips when you can retire them with hot water easily

Is installation the same for Yamaha bolt too?
