Annoying issue

#1 Post by fatboy » Sun May 22, 2016 6:39 pm

Tried to fit my Rizoma grips today and came across a problem..
The alloy twist grip housing is not big enough to accomadate the twist grip sleeve with the cable adapter.
The grips are so well designed, coming with three different types of cable adaptors that fit onto the notched end of the twistgrip sleeve,Im doubting an error on Rizoma's part.
The internal clearance needed for the twistgrip assembly is about 8mm, the stock housing offers clearance of 6.3 to 7.5mm which raises questions of the quality of the casting,
Does anyone know if later/ other models are a bit larger ?
Do I need to try and get the housing milled out?

Can't help I'm afraid, just feeling your pain.
