A quick heads up if your grips are worn but still working it's a easy job to sort
all you need is heavy duty heatshrink tube [the sort used for fishing rod handles] available in many colours slip it over the original grips shrink with heat gun or boiling water job done, also it helps with the grips being too hot on high setting dont worry if you dont get a perfect fir at first it will shrink further with use
If one or more dont work
If you need to repair one grip or more use resister wire covered with insulated sleeving under the heatshrink joined to the original wireing the left one needs about .8 om[spellin] less resistance due to the insulating affect of the twistgrip about two meters length for the throttle side
Hope this helps dai
This is what you need

just realised you will need bigger than this but this is the sort you need diamond heatshrink tube the measurement given is usually accross tube when it's flat
Think i have put this in the wrong place feel free to move if needed

Tried that i found it a bugger to fit and it perrished very quickly probably down to the weather we have here, but have found the diamond heatshrink tubing to be perfect it's a lot thicker than the usual tubing you will get, just be carefull how it's measured only this week i was caught out and bought the wrong size, some are measured flat and some are measured by the diameter
