Lift the switch straight up then wiggle it away from the housing like you are sliding it to the left. Little tricky but once you get it you will understand.

I took a picture for you to see figured it may help with the explanation. You take a small screwdriver, push the cap up with your hand, then in the center underneath you place the screwdriver. Twist up a little and out and it should slide off easily. DO NOT pry straight up, it just needs to get past the lip then slide off. Hope this helps you out.

The left hand grip is glued, heat a little with blow dryer and twist on it. This way you can get it off in tact. There is not much glue and with a new bike it should not take too much effort.

Finally got these bars on and sad to say, they are not going to work for me. No pullback for me doesn't work.
Gonna let these go. (black bars. In case anyone is interested.)
Back to stock until I can find something not as wide as F47. 10 or 12".

UGH... that is my biggest concern. What size did you go with?

10". 12 may have been better, however, with no pullback I wouldn't be comfortable.

That blows, sorry they did not work out for you. I thought they were comfortable/aggressive bars, the 12" really didn't make much of a difference in feel just raised my arms a bit (as you can see in the picks I posted earlier). But I thought both were comfortable. I did just read a post of a set of bars that look similar and similar width but had a lot of pullback. Will see if I can find the link for you, they were great looking bars as well.

Wrist angle is as important for a person as pull back. The FXR Division Road Glide bars do not have a lot of pull back on wrist angle. More aggressive stance on these bars; almost made to make to lean into bars a little bit in my opinion.

Take a broom handle and hold it straight out and you can see what bars with NO wrist angle have then let one hand go and you can see where you wrist naturally goes. That will show you what angle your wrists like the best.

Picked up the Chizeled Lo bars at the dealer, we'll see how these fit.
