Went to suzuki dealer yesterday

I went back to the dealer where i bought my bike back in march to ask about fairing lowers amongst other things.
Dealer says my black has three different shades of flake in the paint which is difficult to match so he said best price he can do is £370 .
Skidmarx sells some for £120 but i would need to get them painted but dealer says this is difficult to get done properly.
Also asked him about my options regarding easing the pins and needles issue on my hands / wrists (previously posted).
Bar conversions are £300 +
As a cheap thing to start with he gave me some motrax grips which are supposed to be anti vibration comfort grips and are slightly thicker with extra soft rubbery bits on cost me £6 so will try these.
Never changed grips before so any helpful do's and don'ts appreciated.

Just take them off, remove all the other glue from the bar and use some hairspray and let dry overnight, what I read on here..

Yeah i read that somewhere, are the stock ones easy to get off you know?

Bit of WD40 sprayed down between the grip and the bar would help... then just pull it Took mine off the other day wasn't too bad.

Just cut them off with a sharp stanley knife blade.

Alternatively they are easier to push off rather then pull.

Rolling a long thin screwdriver round underneath the grip is a good way to break the glue to get the old ones off. Then WD40 and slide. Clean it up well before putting the new ones on.

Slip a screwdriver under the old grip and squirt some WD40 under it, wiggle the screw driver around so you get WD40 around the grip and it should slide off real easy.

Take the bar ends off first !

If you've got some copper grease, use some when refitting the bar end bolts. If you haven't got copper grease, then any grease will do. These bolts are prone to seizing

Beat me to it, as the doorbell went as I was typing +1 on this

Poss worth checking levers are at a good angle for your wrists if you haven't already.
