    Throttle grip insert

    I cracked the plastic on my throttle where the cable connects to it. I ordered new grips and they came, but they don't have that insert. I'm guessing I'm supposed to reuse my old one, but mines cracked. Where can I get a replacement? I didn't find anything on parts outlaw.

        I just ordered a used one on eBay for $10. Is it hard to get the grip off of the insert? Is there anything I should know so I don't break the new one?

          You may have to twist real good on the rubber once you put the grip and tube on a set of bars but mine slipped off fairly easy.

            air compressor and a air nozzle make short work of removing grips.

              So the throttle inserts are just pushed into the grips? I just need to pull them apart?

                  Yes, may be stuck due to age which is why you'll need to really twist but there shouldn't be any glue on them
