So I decided to ditch the Driven D3 grips and go with something different. Less shiny, more racey. http://forums.mra-racing.org/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif I picked up some Renthal Mediums for my R1. I went to put them on tonight, the throttle side was tight to get on, as I figured it would, but when I got to the clutch side, it was sliding on and off like a cheap hooker on Colfax. http://forums.mra-racing.org/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif

I have Vortex bars instead of the stock clip-ons, so I was figuring that it was just because it might be a smaller diameter. But when I switched the D3s off the stock bars to the new ones, they went on tight.

So is this normal? Any ideas on what I should do?

You didn't happen to put the clutch grip over the throttle tube did you?

Try the cheap hooker on the throttle side. Your fav hair spray and it should slide right in…..er, on.

Bar dia. are pretty much standard 7/8" so it sounds like you got two throttle grips, cause I don't think you could get a standard grip to fit over the throttle.
