I got mine and the soft grips are closer to each other than the photos. How do I move them apart?

Put your fingers at the top or bottom of the grips and slide them up or down DO NOT wrap fingers or squeeze the grips. If you do this they will not slide Hope this helps Roger

Yes if one is careful not to damage the grips while removing. Yes they can be shorten. need to remove grips & cutoff what is not needed & reinstall grips. I found soaking them in warm water will help remove & installing them.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

I would suggest starting with contacting Pachmayr. I know they are a good co. and should stand by their products. It may cost a few bucks to replace but would be worth it. I have these grips and love them.

It isn't easy as they are hard to hold and manipulate. I just worked at it, turning them like screws to try to get them into the space. I got all but one in and finally gave up on the last one as it wasn't going to be seen anyway. Good luck.

I had padded grips on my handlebars, so it was just easier to remove them first and replace them after installing the handlebars into the stem. I had to cut the grips to get them off, but I just rapped them with athletic tape after putting them back on.

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.

If your referring to the picture they are not together. To slide the foot pedals you squeeze the handles I imagine if you kept sliding they would come apart.

Unlock each end and unscrew lock Counterclockwise. Until it separates. Put both parts over rail and retighten and Relock

You are correct. You will need either hide a set screw somewhere or find some other fashion of lateral support given it being possible to slide the two clips apart.

No, they are not fixed in place. You can move each one independent of each other.

Sorry, I am unable to help. I did mine by cutting with a razor and soaking in hot water to loosen the rubber. Good luck. Let me know if I was of any help.

The holes for the screws are under the rubber stripping. You must pull back the rubber stripping and use a screw driver to hold the screw in place as you align the handles. Tighten the screws and release the rubber. Hope this helps!

Just pull them apart. Put a finger in both holes and then just pull hard. The smaller ones are harder than the big ones.

There should be a rectangle about a cm long between the two plastic cases where they meet on the side. Try to unhook all the latches by pulling on that first then going all around the edges doing the same. The rubber underneath should come off easy once the plastic is off.

I believe you can move the arms to be closer together or farther apart. Think long about purchasing this, I wanted it so bad, with another lamp I bought as well, and they look horribly gaudy. I hate my lamps. And there's a lot of assembling. And it was sent TWICE with broken parts and took at least a month to replace the parts TWICE.

You remove old grips first. There is a tool to facilitate getting (the one piece) grip on to the weapon after which I can say it is not coming loose. DO NOT lose the tool because if you want to remove the Hogue grip in the future it will be tough without it. I am quite happy with these as they don't extend outside the frame of the weapon except in the front.
