I'm inferring here that the actual switch procedure is a lot simpler than the description in the Haynes manual for removing handlebars????

That was a bit daunting to someone who'd never done it before, and involved taking apart the entire starter-button/brake-lever/throttle assemblage and such.

But am I right that you're implying that the entire throttle, brake, switch assembly can just be slid off the end of the bar and slid back onto the new one in one piece (assuming, of course, a reasonable loosening of the clamp screwss???

I've only ever removed rubber grips which were worn out and just cut 'em to bits, but I'd really like to preserve the ones I have. I guess I'd try the WD-40 trick. I also read somewhere than they can be nudged a bit with compressed air, too.

Anyway, am I right about that?
