You'll have to cut the end from your grips, clean out the excess glue left by Kawasaki on the inside left end of the handlebar (can use a drill, stout knife) & will have to cut about one quarter inch from the plastic throttle sleeve on the right end, making the throttle sleeve just short of even with the end of the handlebar. Drill out the end of the plastic throttle sleeve first..that you can see the relationship of the handlebar to the throttle sleeve. (I used a hacksaw with fine blade for cutting grip ends & bit of throttle sleeve off, then cleaned up with an exacto blade). Installing the bar ends is basically pushing them into the end of your handlebar, then tightening the screw on the bar end (compressing the rubber spacer on it, causing it to expand & hold tight to the inside of the handlebar) Make Sure that you're throttle's working freely, without Any resistance from the bar end when all's done. And if you decide to go with some sort of bark busters later on, you'll be half way there, already having your handlebar ends opened up. Have not tried filling the bars with any substance, other listers have, and said it works real well. One thing I plan to do for sure is add some heated grips, any one know if I can run those and a vest without killing the battery? >> Not tried heated grips/vests. You can check the archives for info on them if one of the listers from the Great White North doesn't pipe up with their experiences. All best Scott A14 "thunderdog"
