why is the right side of these handle bars a different size then the left? I cant get my throttle handle on it.

I didnt have any issues with mine, however, sometimes the finish is thicker at the end of the bars, make sure this isnt the issue.
2087844
Yes. Backwards would make the handles facing the front end. Believe me I thought the same thing they have a slight bend on them so they can only face the way there supposed to go on.
2087845
It should be the same, but I noticed the black coating is pretty thick and I had to shave some off to get the throttle to twist freely

I had the same problem. I took a grinder and put a taper on the right side and it slid right on.

I don't work for the company, I'm just a customer. I'm not sure if they will take it back or not. Are you sure they are the right size for your bike, and how close is it to going on?

Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do. As I recall, the position of the slot relative to the body cannot be changed, it is spring loaded. I had hoped to install it, adjust the position by turning the body, and then securing it with the screws when I got the position right based on the idle, but I could not get it to work. The idle was too high and I could not bring it down. The local shop couldn't adjust it either, apparently they are calibrated together at the factory. I ended up having to buy a whole new throttle body assembly. Hi John. I bought this hoping that I wouldn't have to replace the whole throttle body as you are probably trying to do.

Yes, I placed the Front handle bars on backwards and this happened. Take a good look at the front forks. They can be rotated 180 degrees once you loosen up the handlebars. That should fix your problem. Still a tight turn but manageable.

That could be a tough fit, my guess is the lower control arms might be the problem, and/or the sway bar links.

Hello,Yes there are adjustments for throttle blade opening, didn't see one for needle position. It is easier to buy this than locate a rebuild kit for the old one. New one fits and works perfectly.

I'm having the same problem and am beginning to feel kinda stupid. How far through did the holes go? I mean there is one hole in the handlebars, and then two through the post, but it seems like there should be another hole on the other side of the handlebars that should "recieve" the screw. Am I right?

Not sure I understand the 2nd part of your question, but here's what I did. There was a plug in the end of the regular grips that had to be removed so I could slide the regular grips down the bars to accommodate the bar-end grips. You will need to loosen the controls and slide them in far enough for the grips and bar-ends. That leaves an inch or so of plain handle bar over which you slide the bar-end grips and tighten them up.

I bought a new handle bar at the same time as shifter, everything fit O.K. It also fit my old handle bar, but had to replace the old handle bar because it was badly bent from a tornado.

This is the right side, note you need to replace both sides for the benefit of a better ride... Good price and works great.You should replace the engine and transmission mounts also.. I am on my third set. Good Luck.

As long as the handlebars are the standard 7/8" diameter, yes. Beware that the glue that comes with them doesn't work. Get real grip glue for the left grip and you will need filler epoxy, like JB Weld, for the throttle side because the inside plastic does not tightly grip the throttle tube like a rubber grip does.

Not very well, I had to use a drimel and grind and cut on all four pieces to make them fit. I would go a different direction as far as a company if I had to do it again. They look great, but were a huge pain to make fit . Hope that helps. Also my throttle stop cross threaded when I put it in.

There is more than one way to hook up the governor link. There is different holes in the throttle plate make sure it still pivots and not binds when all hooked up and working the throttle plate arm assem. If it is you probably used the wrong hole

My touring bike has a Rohloff grip shifter on the right side. I used a stock set of Ergons and cut the one side to fit w/o problem.

I don't know about this particular bike, but I would assume so. They just slipped on my handle bars on a Suzuki C50, and I've put them on other bikes too.On the right one, you have to remove the plastic inner sleeve to slide over your throttle. You can just cur off your old grips.I'm happy with these grips and they are just like the Kuriakans. I'd give them a try.

Not sure about the throttle control. I was not able to use them at all. They get too tight about an inch from being all the way on. They also fall apart easy. When sliding them on the handle bars the rubber pieces would pop out. Bought the kuryakyn 6235. Twice the price but not problems

Hi They are connected with ball lock to the top end and it is rotatable, which means there is no left or right. I ordered two as well and they worked perfectly for me on both sidesJust pry off the older lifter bar ball from existing holder and pop in new one , it's as simpleAlso make sure the door is fully open before you pop out the older one as it might have some residual pressure in it.Goodluck

You may have the front and back cross bars reversed. Also, make sure the end caps are on the correct side.
