Grip replacement question !

[scamp62]

sh#t....I really like the look of the natural rubber !
funny i ordered a set of black for a old GS750 that I'm carving up into a old cafe' racer.

I would like to change out my standard hand grips with natural rubber, coke bottle type, But how dose one do this on the throttle side ? Dose the rubber & plastic chrome come off the throttle sleeve ? I really just don't want to tare in to it, and end up with a new trashcan decoration. Any help would be appreciated !

Scamp, if you're talking about the natural "surgical" type rubber for the bottle grips, the sun quickly dries them up and they'll instantly start to crack. I bought a pair for my CB 450 and they were ruined in no time!  I bought the black rubber for my Drifter and they're still holding up quite well.

I'm just going to say this about that...the KAW throttle sleeve is a different (smaller) diameter than the Harley sleeve those grips were probably made for, so you are going to have to make up the difference with something... I used old fashioned friction tape, and then grip cement to hold it together..
