well nevermind me....finally found a thread with my exact same situation.
https://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=40345.0

Going to fill up well, as done and watch for any issues going forward!

Please excuse my ignorance, but have some questions. I only have experience with air cooled bikes, so the liquid cooled is new to me.
I am wondering about refilling the coolant. I emptied everything including reservoir.
I refilled the res to the line....easy peasy.
I poured coolant into the rad mouth under the fuel tank, slowly as told.

Now here I am reading/hearing about water pump bleed bolt and radiator bleed cap....where are these or is that guide for a 1500?

Plus am trying to be sure there is no air pockets, so I turned on the bike with the rad cap off as multiple vids say to do and I get coolant spouting out of the rad mouth like a fountain.
I did this twice thinking it was expelling air, but have come here now as I am tired off wiping up coolant.
The service manual just says refill slowly, cap on and done with it....
Thanks!

I am in Hamilton, Ontario. I posted on Facebook group before buying the bike. You were helpful in knowledge to me. That was a few weeks ago.Thanks
I have been quiet and busy since;)
The grips are standard billet, but I have not seen these on any bikes, so I went with them due to that.
All I had to move was the switch housings over a 1/2 inch or so as the threaded bar ends stuck out further than the grips. These grips are 1/2 inch shorter than stock, so that was what threw me off for a few seconds.
All done and mounted today. I will post a pic or two

Upon looking again at it all....I was over thinking it. Yes just take the old grip off and put new on, over the threaded end.
What most guides etc don't say is that the controls may need to be moved/adjusted inwards or outwards on the bars depending on the new grip length.
Thanks above for your time!

Good day,
Basic but important questions.
I received new grips....ready to remove old clutch side grip for example. I see after unscrewing the chome end cap off the stock a threaded end.
This end sticks out longer than the new grip. About the entire length of the thread to be honest
The threaded end appears to be a part of the handle tube.
Do you all cut this off and be done with it or does it screw off?

While here, the throttle grip has the ferrule ends for the cable. It is not just a slide on cover.
I have learned to undo cable housing screws....correct....and fit?
The grips are throttle side 12.5cm and clutch side 11.5cm x 1" diameter.
Thanks[
