Adhesive Tape
| 1. | To ease installation. See Figure 2. 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. | See Figure 3. Remove the paper from the bottom side (3) of the adhesive tape (2). | |
| 3. | See Figure 2. Align one of the short sides (4) of the adhesive tape (5) with line (3). | |
| 4. | See Figure 3. 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. 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. | |
| 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. | |
| 6. | See Figure 1. Working quickly align the flat side of the grip (5) as noted earlier. Slide the grip onto the handlebar lifting the switch housing to find the final location. Align the pin (2) in the switch housing with the hole (4) in the handlebar. | |
| 7. | Mate the lower housing to the upper housing to check for proper fit. | |
| 8. | Tighten housing screws to: Torque: 0.8–1.1 N·m (7–9 in-lbs) switch housing screws NOTE Do not move the hand grip for 4 hours after installation to allow the adhesive tape to cure. |
Right side Grip
| 1. | Remove the switch housing assembly. See the service manual. | |
| 2. | Disconnect the throttle cables. Remove the existing right grip/throttle sleeve assembly. See the service manual. | |
| 3. | Verify that the handlebar end is clean and smooth. | |
| 4. | Install the new right grip/throttle sleeve to the handlebar and connect the throttle cables. See the service manual. | |
| WARNING Before starting engine, be sure throttle control will snap back to idle position when released. A throttle control that prevents engine from automatically returning to idle can lead to loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00390a) | ||
| 5. | Verify that the right grip/throttle sleeve rotates and returns freely not binding on the handlebar or switch housing. |
CARE AND CLEANING GUIDELINES FOR BRASS PARTS
Cleaning Instructions
- Verify part is dry and free of dirt or debris.
- Place a small amount of Harley-Davidson® Chrome Clean & Shine on a microfiber cloth or detailing swab.
- Using light pressure, rub the brass parts with the microfiber cloth. For hard to reach places or grooves, use the detailing swab.
Obtaining a Bright Finish
Brass parts will naturally age and darken with time. If a bright brass finish is preferred, place some Harley-Davidson Bare Metal Polish on a microfiber cloth and lightly rub on the brass parts until they reach the desired brightness.
Slowing the Natural Aging Process
To slow the aging process of the brass parts, place a small amount of Harley-Davidson Glaze Poly Sealant on a microfiber cloth or detailing swab, and lightly rub on the parts until the sealant has soaked in.
Precautions
- Use of non-recommended cleaning, polishing and protective products will result in the removal of the aged finish from the brass parts.
- Prolonged contact with certain items (hands, gloves, boots, dust, etc.) and exposure to the elements will also alter all surface finishes and is NOT considered a defect.
- Avoid cleaning parts with abrasive and aggressive chemicals and abrasive cleaning pads.
- Avoid ammoniated products and bleach.
- Prolonged exposure to water will alter the brass finish. Wipe down parts after contact with water.
- Excess rubbing may lighten the surface appearance of the part.
