Thank you for this video. I'd gone seeking replacement grips for my 2002 BMW F650GS, only to be told by a general motorcycle shop that you can't get new grips for these bike because of the problems with the heated grips. BMW Motorrad said the same thing, then tried to sell me a whole heated grip package costing $600 AUD (Australia dollars). Luckily I found your video and ordered some Ariete Roadgrips on Ebay, sent from Germany for $45 AUD. 10 days later they arrived and absolutely identical to the originals. Had both fitted in under 10 mins thanks to the hairspray trick. Very Happy Biker!!!

The right grip is the same?

Left and right are identical. No difference from the factory ones.

I used a crooked carpetknife to get the old rubber off. The outside of these knives is blunt, so no risk for the heating element. Thx for the vid, very helpful!

You neglected the locktite at the bar end ... those bugger may wiggle free after a few miles.
