Help much apprechated (sp?)

Thanks

Any one?

The throttle tube has 2 lips one furthest away from the switch gear and one nearest the switch gear and the standard grip is moulded to fit over these lips.

As above really. You might have to file it down smooth for the Renthal grips to fit correct.

I posted same question a few weeks ago, hack them off, but the one at the back nearest the brake reservoir i filed it down a bit then chamfered the inside edge of the grip to kind of match it to the 'lip'.
Mine has worked great.
