Adhesive Tape
| 1. | To ease installation. Figure 3 Make a mark 1/4 in (2) from the end of the handlebar. Keep the adhesive tape along this line while applying. To aid in alignment make a mark (3) straight along handlebar. | |
| 2. | Figure 4 Remove the paper from the bottom side (3) of the adhesive tape (2). | |
| 3. | Figure 3 Align one of the short sides (4) of the adhesive tape (5) with line (3). NOTE Once the isopropyl alcohol and water solution has been applied to the tape there is a limited time to complete the installation. Verify that the switch housing and grip are oriented correctly before proceeding. | |
| 4. | Figure 4 Begin to apply the adhesive tape to the handlebar. Do not wrinkle the adhesive tape. Remove the top side of the paper (4) to prevent overlapping the paper while wrapping the handlebar. Fully wrap the adhesive tape around the handlebar. | |
| 5. | Spray the tape liberally with the solution of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. The solution will temporarily reduce the adhesive property so the grip can be installed. After the solution is applied, you have about 1 minute to work before the adhesive begins to harden. Do not move the hand grip for 4 hours after installation to allow the adhesive tape to cure.
