I've spent some time on some old Trail Horse throttles that were damaged & covered with over spray (paint) also twisted out of shape. I started with the worst one A member sent me. Badly Twisted, broken throttle tube & plenty of over spray. I started with removing paint over spray. I used Goo Gone & cotton rag & with aggressive rub down with finger nail under rag paint came off nicely, revealing a grip in surprisingly great condition. next I noticed the throttle, that I thought was one pc. was two pc. Grip & inner tube. So next I tried to remove inner tube, I used a sm. straight blade screwdriver between grip & tube & sprayed liquid wrench in between. Still stuck like chuck! Next & hot water soak about 20 min. Then the inner tube slid right out. Yea! Now To deal with twist, I set the grip on dash of van in the sun 20 min. Now the grip was soft I twisted back in its straight form & slid it back on a throttle tube let it cool. Now this grip that looked to be wasted, is a very very nice grip!!! Just needs a good inner tube.
Its the one on the left of pic.
So Tom, if you want it its yours, I have good throttle grips... Its the Dummy Grip I really needed if you recall,
This is how it turned out.
I'm working on another set I picked up at Windber from Karl. the Dummy grip turned out almost mint! Throttle grip is well on its way to being very nice.
