So, what about the grip? <\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Bumpy… bumpy
If I install the grip like this
SO BAD!

I could machine it down on the lathe,
but that’s a hassle!
I’d rather find a solution for the future
In times like this! “Google it!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A certain kind!
Fresh design (‘\u0414’) <\/p>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I thought “hmm” for a moment…
but I don’t like the grip feel

I prefer something thin with a grainy texture <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardness comes in “soft, medium, hard.”
The color in the image can be surprisingly different from the actual product,
so it’s best to use it as a reference only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complicated construction
This too is the manufacturer’s love (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

I want to avoid using adhesive as much as possible
and make sure it doesn’t slip
You can feel the love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I can choose grips to my heart’s content! <\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Actually, I wanted it a bit more “high-throttle”
*by increasing the winding diameter
To do that,
the accelerator cable inner length needs
to have some slack.

Kawasaki OEM cable installation is
quite unusual\u2014it just plugs into the carb side

and adjustment is difficult.
Since there’s a risk it won’t work,
I kept it the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OEM handlebar?
What’s this on the left side? <\/p>

Hmm??? Not sure what it is.

Basically, I’m anti-adhesive <\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Adhesive has
way too many uncertain factors.

Need to wait for it to cure
Sometimes it still spins even after application
The hassle of replacing grips later

I use 3M’s thinnest anti-slip tape
instead.

3M Anti-Slip Tape Fall Prevention
Safety Walk Type F  <\/a>
This is the thinnest at “0.6 mm”
and the clear color makes it easy to use
and removal is a breeze.

It grips really well.
I’ve been using it on customers’ bikes for a while now
and so far, no problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
