Blow compressed air between the bar and grip, use it to slightly "inflate" the grip as you work it over the bar. I usually use about 50 psi.
I was only working on the port side. Never got to the starboard.I'm pretty sure one grip is wider to account for the throttle tube. Did you try both sides?
ha ha....perhaps I wasn't clear with my initial post. They didn't fit so I put the original back on...so, a pic would be a boring shot looking exactly like yoursWhy would you change them? Can you please send picture of end result? Thanks!
they're a good brand. Now, the specific pair I have may have something gimpy about them :| but this brand is good.Seem to be quit cheap - maybe the grips are just not manufactored well?
The bar is for sure 7/8. 1" is a lot thicker.
Explaination: In Germany "cheap" means "for little money you'll get pure quality" while "inexpensive" means that you get good quality for a low price.
And the grips (once you find a pair that fits) help against the tingly hands?Definitely feeling tingly hands right now.:frown2:

I have those grips and was going to put them on.. I got the left handle bar on no problem. But the throttle side is weird. Like, the grip seems to be attached to the white tube and I am not sure how to get it off and afraid of breaking something trying to get it off.ha ha....perhaps I wasn't clear with my initial post.

Reason: it isn't for looks. I was putting Progrips on for vibration dampening.

Not easily, the RH grip is a tight fit on the twistgrip tube which has a number ridges cast into it to prevent the rubber from rotating, but it can be done. Or you can just cut it off and fit a new one... how do I get the throttle grip off.
Good advice here if you don't plan on putting the OEM back on. Don't waste the time.Or you can just cut it off and fit a new one.
Ok.. I was just nervous about doing something to the throttle tube. Getting a new one on sounds like it may be a bit of a challenge. Also, the original has a groove at the end that matches the throttle tube. New grips won't have that leaving it exposed I assume.Not easily, the RH grip is a tight fit on the twistgrip tube which has a number ridges cast into it to prevent the rubber from rotating, but it can be done.

Yes, definitely. Pro Grip products are inexpensive but high quality. They offer an excellent array of options depending on one's needs.And the grips (once you find a pair that fits) help against the tingly hands?
Almost 7k on my 719s and zero complaints. Way better than the thin OEM grips.Thanks! I might try this afternoon to see if I can make these 719's work!
