Throttle Tamer and Heated Grips on '09 Connie

[roadie]

Well finally had a a couple hours to replace throttle tube with Throttle TaMER, and install some heated grips and new grips.  Here are some photos if anyone is interested:

Throttle tamer:  installed super quick...took a couple minutes to readust the throttle cables, but not too difficult.
Heated grips: pretty simple as well...went like clock work.  Hot without gloves, but don't penetrate my T-5 gloves to well....lets see how they hold up in super cold weather.

New Throttle Tamer Installed another Pic of Throttle Tamer Hole Drilled for switch (13/16") These cables were run months ago and coiled up waiting Extra cables run to Fuze-Block coiled and ready Switch installed

I want to install the Throttlemaster on my 2010 with factory heated grips but am afraid to try to remove the stock grips for the rework for fear of damaging the stock heating elements...

Can they be safely removed using an air compressor??

Advise....

Why would you have to remove the grips to install the TM?

[Tactical_Mik]

They are talking about replacing the throttle tube with a throttle master tube not replacing the bar ends with a throttle meister.  There is your difference.

Op installed a Throttle Tamer throttle tube. If Ninja is just wanting to install TM it should be done by just rolling about 1" of the grip inboard, as per instructions, to allow for installation.

Well obviously there are too many tm's in this thread. 

[roadie]

Yeah my fault. I did not install a meister I installed a tamer.

sorry dudes.. JV move on my part...fixed the title...

Ninja:  here's a recent thread on glue/air/etc on installing/removing grips, hope this helps:

I'll put my glasses on next time.

[roadie]

yeah, surprised no one clowned me for that one. 

[gPink]

So Roadie, have you got any miles on the Tamer yet?

[roadie]

about 200 hundred.  gotta admit...i'm too much of an ape to notice any discernible difference.  Not sorry I installed though...I'll see if I soon appreciate more.  You use?

My next purchase is a G2 Throttle Tamer!

Yes. I noticed a slight difference in the on/off throttle engagement but the biggest thing I noticed was the smoothness of the actual turning of the throttle tube. The bushings eliminate metal to metal contact and the associated drag.

Will, you get your tamer direct from G2 or from some other source?

[roadie]

Direct. took seconds to pop on.
