I finished up the install, this evening. Overall, the throttle side went much smoother. I put a little car wash soap on the outside of the stock grip, and I peeled it over itself and it came right off. It was almost too easy. This way I still have my factory grips if I ever want to swap back.
Thanks for the tips, everyone. I won't need them for a few more months, but I will have HEAT this winter!! yay!
