Honda Heated Grip needs to slide on a bit farther for Throttlemeister -- SOLVED!!
I took off the vista cruise, that was on the bike when I got it, in preparation for putting on the Throttlemeister. A 3/16" gap was left at the inner end of the plastic throttle sleeve for the VC. I'd like to slide the grip on the rest of the way as it will enable the outer end, the indented part, of the rubber grip to sit flush with the end of the plastic sleeve. This is what the Throttlemeister wants so it's friction ring will press against the sleeve.
How can I loosen this grip up enough to slide it a bit? I gingerly tried sliding some things between grip and sleeve hoping to be able to lube it a bit but I couldn't get too far and was afraid of damaging the heater.
I'm open for suggestions. TIA
