new grips

Post by Polokid69 » Wed Sep 26, 2012 6:14 pm

finally got my ProGrips installed. I cut the old ones off and got the throttle side on no problem. Then I went to clutch side and realized you have to remove the bar end to get the grip on that side. Remembering how the shop took my last bike's bar ends off, I went to Lowe's and got the same mambo Kobalt screwdriver that has place for wrench on it. I also bought the 13MM wrench.
A couple taps with hammer and then tried screw driver and wrench and bar ends came off to my surprise! I saw the shop break a Snap-On screw driver before they tried the Kobalt one so I was impressed enough to buy one.
