Shorter Grips

When installing shorter grip I assume that the throttle will need to be shortened? Is there a good way to do this? I am going to be installing grips that are 4.25" approx. 1/4-3/8 shorter than stock.

Secondly, if I were to purchase new grips from Triumph do they come with the throttle?

To shorten your throttle nad by that I take it you mean the white plastic tube inside the grip? Then use a junior hacksaw or any fine tooth saw and remove any burrs once cut.

Will Triumph supply this white tube with the new grips - doubtful unless you order it aswell - it's a separate item
