I've got some new handlebar grips on the way that I ordered off e-bay. Unfortunately, they aren't coming with installation instructions. I've never changed grips, nor do I know anyone who has. Can someone out there give me a heads up as to what this involves? All input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Its actually pretty easy,...and i bought the ones from the HD shop,...and guess what ,.....no instructions either.
It'll help to have some locking vise grips with the needle nose to help hold the throttle cables in position.
The throttle side was the only pain, cause you have to get the two cables back into a small slot(plastic slot I think,...so be careful not to maul it all up). The clutch side is a breeze. On both ya just split the two housings open,......and there ya have it. Bout a 30 minute job.
I'm to lazy to find the thread on it,....but its not a big job,.....I did my own ,....so a caveman can probably do it.

You need some hairspray or adhesive for the clutch side and just unhook the clamshell on the right, take out the two throttle cables, hook up the new grips, and be done with it, lol...it's pretty easy. Make sure you sticky that left side up good though, I've seen em slip off sometimes.
