Place the LH grip on your new bars, mark the position of the screw holes then drill and tap the new bars to take the screws. That's what I did when I fitted Ducabike bars to my Supersport and had to change over the heated grips. IIRC the thread is M3.5.
Hi guys now the weather is hear to really test the grips and I'm glad to say they work brilliantly never had heated grips before so these are a revaluation my dad recommended not getting the grips fitted as he preferres heated gloves but the miles I do in the winter months the grips are perfect
Would you be able to tell me how to remove the switchgear from the left hand side. I've found two tiny torx screws underneath which has allowed the bottom cover to come away but the top side with all the switches in won't budge. I don't want to break it, any ideas?
Mine just lifted off. There is a plastic anti-rotation peg that engages in a hole in the bars. It might just be a tight fit. For the new bars you will need to drill a hole to match or, trim off the peg and hopefully the switchgear will grip the bar tightly enough to stay put.
I can't see where it splits, there must be a top and bottom. The outer cover on the bottom came away with the screws out, the top is not so keen. Does the top just lift off?
Just a thought, this is on a 1200s, this is the switch gear for the computer, it's quite a big thing. Was yours on a Pikes Peak?
I've had the switch gear off my Supersport 939, it's different, and off my previous 2010 MTS1200 which had the same switches as all MTS models (and Scramblers) until 2015 with the introduction of the DVT models which have different switches. The top section just lifts off but the peg may be tight. Check also that there is enough slack in the wiring cable to allow movement. The cable is usually secured to the bars and rest of the wiring with rubber ties.
