Default Replacing grips on my FXD

Can anyone give me some R&R guidance on replacing the grips on my Dyna?
I ordered a set of these and it say's that I ill need to get a throttle sleeve.
Can I re-use the existing sleeve?
TIA, Del

You can cut the rubber grip off of the sleeve for the throttle side and re-use it. Hopefully your left side grip fits OK so it can be glued on. It's pretty simple to change them out...

You'll need to glue the left hand one on and try and remove the exsisting sleeve from your stock (i assume) throtle grip. I can't say for sure how succesful you'll be in that the first thing I changed on my bike was the grips and I tossed the old ones in the trash can.

You may be able to peal off the stock throttle grip. I just replaced mine without needing to cut them. If you have it, use compressed air to break the left one loose and it will slide right off.

I am assuming that the cases that house the blinker, horn, start buttons need to be removed.
Yes?

You'll have to loosen the switch housings, I thinkI rememberthe left one is on top of the original grip so it will have to be opened to remove the original grip, I installed the same grips and both of my switch housings moved a little bit further up on the bar., the left one will be easy to remove I used a strap wrench and it twisted off.
The right one I had to cut off and peel it off ()you wont have to open the switch housing, I also had to scrape it to get it clean enough for the new grips. it took awhile but was simple and straight forward.
Be careful when you glue the right one on that you dont get it glued to the bar.
