Im buying some new grips, and need to know if you have to replace the throttle sleeve and if so does it come with the new grips?

If you're buying grips for a Honda they will fit over the throttle sleeve.

well it depends on which grips u are going to get. I have seen Kury's stilletto grips that has black nylon sleeves already in the grips... some dont have'em.. O0

it's no biggie if the grips has no sleeves. u just unscrew the end cap on ur stockers. cut out ur stocker grips with razor blade but dont cut the sleeves itself... then glue / install the new ones over the stock sleeves.  O0

If you don't want to cut them, shoot some WD-40 between the grip and the throttle sleeve and they will twist right off. make sure and clean the bars and sleeve of any residue before putting on the new ones.
