[QUOTE="clutchless1, post: 313976, member: 5170"] I have a 06 AE with the heated grips, and yes getting the little friction sleeve under the grip was a royal pain in the ass. The grip from the factory has glue bonding the rubber part of the grip to the plastic throttle tube. The grip edge must be seperated from the glue before you attempt trying to slide the friction sleeve into place. I finally got my wife's blow dryer and gently heated the end of the grip. After a little while when the grip is warm and more pliable (plus the glue gets softer as well, making it easier to seperate from the grip and throttle tube), this is when you need to gently insert something betewwn the grip and the plastic throttle tube to seperate the two. You only need to insert something under the grip as far as the friction sleeve will go into the grip. Be very careful not to use anything sharp while doing this seperation procedure, a sharp object could cut into the rubber grip and damage the heating element inside, or cause a short. Re-heat the end of the grip again, once the end feels warm enough; insert the friction sleeve into place. This should be a lot easier now with the rubber more pliable and seperated from the throttle tube. That's how I did it, I'm sure others have great ideas as well. As someone once said "Necessity is the mother of invention". Good Luck [/QUOTE]
