Left handgrip replacement
« on: July 25, 2012, 06:09:29 PM »
Didn't know where to put this question.

How does the left habdgrip on an 09FLTRSE3 come off?  Ordered replacement.  The rubber is melting in the heat.  I must have gotten something on it, now it and my glove are very sticky and Goo Gone doesn't solve the problem.

The grip has a flange on the inboard end that fits in a groove in the switch housing.  Remove the screws that hold the two halves of the switch housing together, separate the halves slightly, and the grip should slide out and off.

If it doesn't slide off cut it off. After you've opened your switch housing, as said there is a flange inside the switch housing.

If you have Harley heated grips, do you have to completely remove the handle bars?  I'm hoping there is an easier way to change out grips on a FLHTK 2012.

09 will slide right off, NO cutting involved, they no longer glue them on. Takes a couple minutes, start to finish.
