Title: Throttle Tube
Post by: flik118 on January 29, 2014, 09:01:48 PM
Hi all,im trying to find a standard throttle twist tube for my 04 Tiger 955i..does anyone one know if one off any other Triumph will work as they are hard to find!!,the issue i have is that my bike has the Triumph heated grips on but they are worn and barely work so ive brought a set of aftermarket grips but they will not fit over the throttle tube that comes with the Triumph heated grips,this is why i need a standard twist tube.

Every single one I've seen has had heated grips, my guess is you will struggle. Bars are a standard size tho' so can't see why others wont fit

i think its more to do with the actual outer diameter of the tube thats the problem,my new ones get so far on then stop and i dont want to force them!!

Try putting a little washing up liquid on them, if you have access to an air line, gently blow air between the new grip and the tube while you push them on. Even heated grips have some stretch.
