My new '08 Sporty has the nice Willie G grips. The throttle rt side was missing the tip and then yesterday started sliding off. So I get a new set and the install is going great. Looking easy. Got one cable attached and then BAM I drop the little keeper ring that goes on the end of the other cable. Story of my life. Wait...it gets better. I cannot find it anywhere. My 2 car garage is fairly clean but I can't find it anywhere. I swept my floor like five times! So I take my compressor and give my bike a few easy blasts in case it's fallen between some wires or something. A little shot around the throttle, then uh-oh! A little flat curved plastic piece pops out of the open throttle. This is from in where the switches are. It is flat, about a half inch long with a curve and about a quarter inch across and about an eighth thick (all approx) it had a little grease on it. I have no idea how it sat in there! I do have the HD repair manual but just don't see it in the pics of course. Can anyone tell me where this piece goes? And where the keeper piece went on my garage floor?
It was going so well.
