I don't Need No Stinkin Manual!!!
I changed mine out about four month ago, Didn't have any problems doing the job. I am a retired Coast guard Chief Engineer so I do have a little mechanical ability.
I wrote up these instructions, maybe they'll give you an idea of whats involved.
First, before you do anything. Put a heavy towels over the gas tank and front fender to protect them if you drop something.
Remove you quick release windshield and put it someplace safe and out of the way.
Next remove the headlight front trim. Take the screw out of the bottom. Pull the bottom out and lift up.
Next, remove the head light several screws around outside. Do not touch the adjuster screws. You can let the headlight hang by it's wires.
Next, remove the spear on top of the light, remove the nut from the inside front and lift off the spear. it just hooks into the handle bar cover.
Next, remove the handlebar center cover. Pry up the cover over the fork lock and remove the screws underneath. now remove the screw and nut on the front. A little hard to reach, don't loose the nut.
Remove the cover.
Now remove the throttle side headlight shell, remove the two nut that hold the windshield quick release washers and slide the shell off.
Unplug wires going to handle bars. Only the ones that go into the hole in the center of the handlebars.
Next, remove the clutch and front brake lever assembles and let them hang.
Next, split the switch control housing and pull the wire keepers out of the handle bars and let the hang.
Slide the throttle grip off.
At this point the only thing that should be left on the handle bars is is the clutch side grip and the throttle by wire rheostat assembly.
Time to remove the the handle bars. Remove the 4 Allen bolts on the handle bar clamp. Don't let the handle bars swing down and hit the tank.
The handle bars are now off. take a break.
The next step is best done on a work bench. Set the handle bars on the work surface. Pull the TBW out of the handle bar. Now feed the harness for TBW into the center of the handle while pulling the TBW rheostat out till the connector inside the handlebar comes well out of the grip end.
Now be careful and and unplug the rheostat assy from the harness. i used a jewels screw diver to lift the tab that locks the harness.
Once the harness is unplugged pull the harness out of the handle bar.
Dis-assemble done.
Re-assembly put the TBW harness in the new handlebar, plug the TBS back together a and slide the TBW back into the handle bar and align to the notch.
Now boil some water, that right boil some water. Pot deep enough to submerge the grip on the old handle bar. Put the grip in the water and let it set for a couple of min. grab the grip with a towel (it's Hot) and twist. Repeat till the grip comes off.
Reassemble in reverse order.
