Looks good. Being relatively new to motorcycle riding and very new to motorcycle modding, how do you like the all metal grips. It would seem to me that the rubber or gel grips would be more comfortable.

Be sure and wear your gloves... particularly in the summer!
They do look good.

Yes sometime the all metal grips makes the palms sweat and very difficult to wipe. Especially in Florida heat. But I like it due to the shape of it. When I go on long distance I will wear gloves, and in the florida heat short drives heats up my hands too much. I just like the looks "Web" now I have to look for pegs. Or I could save for the Daul Exhaust pipes that I have my eyes on.... LOL Peg or exhaust decision decision I have to make...

OK let me get the tools out tomorrow and I will post it Thursday Night. SM5 and SE5 Should be the same. The difference should only effect the shifter and transmition.

A buddy of mine wants to help me put heaters in the grips. The method he's used over the years to get grips off (plastic/flexible ones) is to use a compressor and blow air into the ends. Takes just a few seconds. No mess.
