INTRODUCTION: These instructions describe
the procedure for properly installing Sundance
Grips onto 1973-2002 Harley-Davidson
®
models.
Review instructions carefully before beginning,
as they contain important information. Please
retain them for future reference.
Particularly important information is distinguished
in these instructions by the following notations:
NOTE: A NOTE: provides key information
to make a procedure easier or clearer.
CAUTION: A CAUTION: indicates special
procedures that must be followed to avoid damage
to the motorcycle and/or accessories.
WARNING!:
A WARNING! indicates special
procedures that must be followed to avoid injury
to a motorcycle operator or person inspecting
or repairing the motorcycle.
5. Apply a generous wet coat of adhesive inside the
right grip, as well as on the throttle sleeve. Use caution
not to get adhesive between the throttle sleeve and
handlebar. While the adhesive is still wet, slide the
grip immediately into place. Now go directly to step 9.
6. Remove screws securing upper throttle housing half.
Loosen one of the throttle cable adjusters to allow
removal of the throttle sleeve. Carefully remove cable
ends with brass ferrules from throttle sleeve. Set aside
the ferrules for reuse upon installation. Remove the old
sleeve from the handlebars.
7. Install the Sundance grip with sleeve and reconnect
cables with the brass ferrules. Make sure to lubricate
the inside of throttle sleeve with a dry lubricant, such
as graphite.
CAUTION: Make sure that cables and ferrules are
properly seated in throttle sleeve.
8. Replace upper throttle housing and tighten screws
securely.
9.
Readjust cables for proper throttle operation.
NOTE: Make sure to check for proper free play with
the handlebars turned to the right. The throttle should
easily close by itself with all the tension off the throttle
friction stop. Refer to OEM service manual if necessary.
WARNING!:
Before riding motorcycle, be sure throttle
operates freely. Check grips to be sure they are tight and
do not rotate on the handlebars or throttle sleeve.
WARNING!:
Before operating motorcycle, be sure
all hardware is tight.

1-pad of steel wool (or similar abrasive)
1-can of 3M #77 adhesive or contact cement
1-razor blade or box knife
1-graphite lubricant
PROCEDURE:
1. Using the Phillips screwdriver, tighten the
screws holding the chrome cap to the end of the grips.
2. Using the box knife or razor blade, make a cut down
the left grip and remove grip from handlebar. On 96
and later models you will have to remove the screws
from the switch housing as the left grip is also secured
by the housing. Clean handlebar thoroughly; using the steel
wool if necessary. Reinstall switch housing if removed.
3. Apply a generous wet coat of adhesive inside the left
grip, as well as on the handlebar. While the adhesive
is still wet, slide the grip immediately into place.
CAUTION: For best results, allow to dry at least 4-6 hours.
NOTE: If the grips you have do not come with the
throttle sleeve, continue with step 4. If your grips have
the throttle sleeve already installed, please go to step 6.
4. Use the razor blade or box knife to cut the throttle
grip off the sleeve, similar to step 2. Some of the early
OEM grips are glued on; the later OEM grips are molded
on and will need to have all the grip material removed
from the sleeve so that the new grip can be installed.
