Great video Michael as always. A terrific alternative to the pricey stock ones and so easy to power up and select a comfortable setting....I think I'll get the same if available in Canada!
Good video. I did the install a few years ago on my 890 which is basically the same. I chose to remove the conical plastic on the the throttle sleeve. A bit more grinding but you end up with a flush fit.
Just installed grips, this video helped tremoendouly. I just have a comment based on MY EXPERIENCE(S)...I put the left one on using mild grip glue on the handle and a little in the grip. Until this installation I have never used any type of grip glue on any grip install. The LH side was very tight and had to use a mallot to finish getting it on. There was still a bit of a gap at the end becasue I could not get the grip on that last little bit. Not great, but YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT. On the throttle handle I decided NO GRIP GLUE so I lubed the grip and the tube with dishwashing soap (have done this in the past with no issues). The grip went on perfectly with little effort. I did need to trim the end of the grip due to the conical shape the throttle tube at the thumb-end of the grip not being able to get the grip all the way up the tube. Unavoidable. Wish I would have just used the soap on the LH grip to avoid the gap, but oh well. I can live with it. I did not even break out the directions. Thanks for the time you took to create the video.
I did a test fit on my throttle side and also noticed it got harder to push on as it neared the end. Using calipers I confirmed the diameter of the throttle tube increases. I used the 'draw' technique from the video to whittle it down until the tube was about 1-inch in diameter all the way along. The grip was a snug fit and took a lot of effort to remove it, twisting it back and forth helped. I haven't installed them yet as I was undecided on the glue. I think I will take your advice and not use any glue. If I have slippage I should be able to remove them and reattach with glue.
Thx for the video! I've got a set I'm about to install on my bike and was wondering how you like them. Hot enough? Does the switch interfere with operating your turn signals?
@@nordenamerica Thanks for the response! That's good to hear... I'm really looking forward to no longer needing to pry my frozen fingers from the handlebars.
Great video! Best one out there on the Koso Grips. Very good that you show every step very clearly! Great visual story telling. Keep up the good work!
Have them on my Svartpilen 401- game changer!! These are the hottest grips on the market from what I've been told.

I like your videos - very well explained 👍

@@bpositive8551 I thought the same thing (slippage) you wont have any, it is a very snug, tight fit. The grip glue made it 10x worse. Good luck.
thank you for this very helpful guide!
Great Video, nice and clear with good camera work
Are those grips reliable in terms of durability?
From this video, it looks like you don't have to install a relay with power coming from the battery. Is this correct?
Correct, a relay is used with accessories that have an external switch, for example driving lights.
Very nice.. Thank you.
Great video!
Is your turn signal show warning code?
I got no warning codes. These installed with no problem and still work great
I used hairspray to get them on.

They work great! Plenty hot enough and no interference with the turn signal operation. I'm very happy with them.

I installed the location based on this video. The positioning is perfect from the video, I recommend the same locations.
