Hello,
Just wanted to know if any of you folks out there have hotgrips and
after market handguards. I've seen most after markets you have to
trim the grips. Not what I want to try with my grips unless it has
been done.
Thanks

I use the Gerbing heated gloves.. have both the KLR and the Concours
wired for them. Better than heated grips as the back of the hand gets
warmed too.
I use the Acerbis Rally Pro Guards (still want to add the air
deflectors to these..heck for that price I thought they came with
them!) on the KLR and the Maier plastic guards on the KLX.
Yes I had to trim the grips on the end to mount the hand guard bolt
into the bar end.

Hotgrips sells their grips in a variety of legnths and they will cut
the end off for use with wrap-around hand guards or bar-end weights.
If you plan on mainly road riding and touring, I have to suggest
heated gloves because, frankly, they work better. If you will be
mainly dual sport riding, then the grips will work fine because you
will want a thinner glove for off-road riding. If you plan on doing
both, then you'll have to pick.

Alan, You have no choice in the matter. The bolt hole is stationary;
the spring (don't know the part #) will pull the mechanism and turn a cam on
the sprocket and push the sprocket and the plate along with it up against
the chain. That will determine where the bolt goes. The further to the right
the less play is left in the balancer system. Bogdan
