grip replacement
« on: August 28, 2015, 05:18:18 PM »
O.k., lots of advice on how to fit heated grips. My problem is that I already have heated grips already (fitted by previous owner) and the grips are worn smooth, probably by a combination of heat and gripping. I would like to replace the grips, but am a bit wary of doing so in case I destroy the heated parts.

Any suggestions on how to replace the grips without destroying the elements??

Tried them on another bike, no good, I was unhappy about the "feel" of them. They seemed to be too big.

Binding them with something like tennis racquet grips?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
