Hi guys, weather has turned cold in UK and it was time to get some heated grips on my FZ6. Bought some new oxford hotgrips 09 on ebay and after reading some advice on forums and youtube i set out to install it yesterday. First step-remove the bar ends..need a 8mm allen key..bugger..biggest one i had was a 6mm..with the help of a friendly garage guy down the road i managed to get through that step..rest of it was a piece of cake..
removed original grips with screw driver and wd40 as shown on youtube video, installed new grips and superglued them..wired them to the box and connected to battery as instructed on the manual..
next step was installing the control.. i innovated a new way of mounting it using the screw that holds the clutch lever rather than the bolt on the handlebar(suggested by manual). needed a slightly longer bolt to accomadate the clutch lever and clamp but it was not too difficult..finished product as shown on pictures.. works a treat ! cant wait to go out for a ride and test it.
LONGER WHITE SCREW
