Hi Guys,

I'm going to be swapping the stock bars on my 48 out for Biltwell Keystones soon (just bought them off another member in the classifieds)

Is this as simple as removing the wire clips, loosening the hand controls and sliding them off the bars? Or, do I have to remove the grips from the bars first, then controls?

I'm sure I'll find that out when I get there but I'm just wondering in advance to see if I should get some new grips as well

thanks

Take the grips of first using compressed air. If that doesnt work buy new grips.

thanks for the link! yeah, a bit more work than I was anticipating

 

This is the best step by step that I could find.

Don't let it intimidate you, it's easier than you think.

 

Might not be a bad time to upgrade the grips if you still have the stock grips on. However, the stock Harley grips come on and off very easily. You shouldn't have any problems swapping out the bars.

 

I think I'm going to get some Avon air cushion grips.

thanks dudes!
