Instead of trimming off the open end of the grip make the edge uneven. Using blade to cut off the plastic ring on the end of the grip which pointing toward the triple clamp (both clutch and throttle side). It will make the grips fit without messy open end.

Just the video I needed. Thank you
No worries mate👍🏻
This helped. I thought I could save it on my 24 ZX6r on the throttle but there was so much rubber left that I went for a ride and it actually was a safety issues. I cut mine the same way you did yours
I discovered the green lip thingy that sticking out one end needs to be cut off after someone mentioned it in one of the comments….maybe I need to make another vid to clearly that. But it works either way😊 happy riding mate
Good video thank you
Thanks man great video , how do you call these bumps you have on the tank ? I very much like them !
Hey mate, they are tank sliders from RG racing
www.rg-racing.com/#
I have the exact same bike and I just got the progrips (which are also made in Italy like the dominos, and also like the dominos - are longer than oem! - even the 'simplest' of tasks is a PITA with these bikes!) and put the clutch side without too much hassle. I didn't know what to do w/ the right side because of those two 'lips' on each end of the throttle tube. You did manage to get the right grip past the outer lip but were you able to slide the grip over the inner lip on the throttle tube (like the oem grip was)? thx for this vid - super helpful!
Hey mate, I didn’t get the new grip over the inner plastic lip. There is no cut out slot like on the oem grip. What I did was just push the new grip all the way up until it reach the inner lip on the throttle tube. I think that s maybe why I got the extra bit on the outer end. I literally find out after I put on the new grip. I tried to look for a video and search the website see if anyone has done it but I couldn’t find anything related to the throttle side. So I just cut the extra bit off lol.
@@Juzzy2019 yeah that's what I figured as well - since unlike the oem which has a 'sleeve' that can go over the inner lip - these after-market ones do not. It's nuts that there isn't an exact replica of the oem in the after-market! thx and safe-riding!
@@rogervega9846 👍🏻 thanks mate. You too safe riding
I was confused about the inner lip on the throttle side. I just spent 20 minutes trying to get it over the lip until I saw your video. Thanks.
Hey mate, I think it would probably works better by trimming off the thinner section where opposite of the grip open end. The plastic lip should still stop the grip from freezing up the throttle movement.
From what I measured, the new grips would be perfectly fit on the handle bar after. I think it would match the length of the oem grips (120mm). I read about this from a website after putting the grips on. Didn’t try it myself, just a thought would like to share. I would probably try that next time.
All respect but if you didn't trim the first lip off your grips are on wrong. If you trim it the grip will push all the way up to the front lip and the one on the end will fit into the grip then bar ends will go on perfect without messing with throttle
@@heymr.sowhatareyousaying5831 yes you are right.
Helpful video, thank you! I have a 2019 N1K with stock grips. Hey, is there some type of adhesive already on the inside of the new grip that's activated by the alcohol/WD40? If not, I'm inclined to use hairspray to ensure a solid adhesion of the new grip.
Nah there wasn’t any. I personally didn’t want to use adhesive cos in case I want to change it, just make it easier without adhesive the grip. There is someone commented not to use WD40. But …yea WD40 s what I used.
Just as a suggestion: If you trim the ring off on the front of the grip, would've been the correct way.... No cap your bars look uneven now at the end
haha yes, i realised that after....i was wondering what that was and maybe can be trimmed off. I fixed the left side. And just gonna leave throttle side as it is then. thanks for the comment 👍
@Juzzy2019 It looks good though I have the same bike but the 2024 and I used domino road race version
Oh sweet! I have seen the new ones in the flesh yet. The tft is a nice touch. I will check it out when the dealer has it😊
@chickenmaster7144 Yes trim the smaller lip completely off with a slight bevel inside so it will push flush against the ring on the front of your throttle tube it will also allow the back ring to fit inside the grip fits perfect won't mess with throttle and bar ends fit properly 😉 btw... few drop of glue once grip is on and in place pry open or roll down add glue both ends
@@heymr.sowhatareyousaying5831which inner lip do you need to trim off? the green lip on the inside?
Is it ok to use wd40 to install the handgrip? Won't it slide off later?
Nah it won’t. Wd40 s what I used. It dry up pretty quickly after you slide the grip on. And make sure you cut off the extra/extended rubber bit to make the grip for the length of the bar end (if you have the same bike). I made mistake of not removing it so it end up longer on the throttle side.
That little white paper that he threw back in the box are the INSTRUCTIONS. It clearly says NOT to use lubricants or solvents to apply the grip. The manufacturer says to use alcohol. That’s what I used on mine and it worked perfectly. Those other products can break down the rubber over time. Js……
@jaygill3658 ooops I throw it out….well thank you for letting me know. Too late now I guess just have to see how they go. But thank you for letting me know
where did u get them from
I got them from FCmoto
If the grips are the only thing you want. I rekon look them up at ur local store. These are available pretty much everwhere.
