I did order the KUR-6262. I cut both the old grips off. On the left side this exposed the handlebar. I just cleaned the area and applied the glue and stuck it on. Now for the hard part. The throttle side is a double *****. After you cut the grip off this exposes the throttle sleeve. The throttle sleeved has a bunch of grips on it to hold the old rubber grip in place. I took my drimmel tool and sanded all of these off. There is also a ridge next to the switch housing about a quarter inch tall, I cut this off also. If you peel your grip back a little on each end you will see what I am refurring to. After all this was cut off I sanded the throttle sleeve with sand paper, the corser the better. You will have to sand alot. I could not get the grip to go more than a half an inch so I finally put Vasoline on the throttle sleeve and a little on the inside of the grip. It slid right on. The fit is so tight that I did not use any glue and it has not slipped at all. There is about a half inch of empty space inside at the end of the grip. This poses no problems. I cannot tell any differnce with the weights off the end of the grips. Way more comfort. The grips are larger diameter which relaxes your grip. Hope this helps. If you have any more questions just ask
