    I had these on my vstrom and loved them. Y'all just reminded me I need to order some more for my Spyder. Can you still feel the heated grips after installation?

    I got them on using a combo of the above plus a long, thin screw driver to 'lift' the foam a bit while pulling the grip with needle nose pliers. Whew! I'm glad it was worth it!
    Thanks for the suggestions!

    Default Easy install

    Thanks!
    Spray isopropyl alcohol on the handlebars and the foam grips slip right on. The alcohol dries quickly and residue or issues....

    I pinched on side of my grips closed & then almost filled to top with dollar store hand sanitizer, then put som on the grips themselves. Made my fingers lil slippery but I got both mine on over my lidlox & the bar end cap on both sides. Left to dry & all is good. Fyi mine are the foam grips from Tricled (thank you Cindy!)Installed at my hotel.

    Installed a set of foam grips yesterday without any addition of slickem. It was a tight fit and hard to gt over the raised end of grip but is possible. They feel good too now that they are on.

    Neal , did you get the foam grips from us?
    If you do, it only comes in 1 size. and ours always slide in about 1/2 way easily using hand sanitizer.
    Once it slide about 1/2 then we have to twist and muscle-it a bit to get it all the way in.
