I finally caved and bought a set of heated grips today at Cycle Gear, and am extremely frustrated wit the product.
I got a TrackSide kit: http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1=&L2=&L3=&L4=&item=PRC_A99-00010
which the guy at the shop said would just slide right on.
After I got home, it was very clear this was not going to be an easy job.
First, the grips wouldn't fit over the throttle tube. So I did a little sanding, got out the WD40, and put a lot of muscle into it. Finally if went out, but the grip now feels uneven.
Once it got on, the throttle tube is now TIGHT, and the throttle cable won't pull the throttle back.
Has anybody else ran into these same problems?
