Not sure if this has been covered before but are sundance grips easy to fit to a PX? Please bear in mind I was very pleased with myself when I changed a sparkplug so technical competence is not my forte.
Cheers in advance

Couldn't be easier Nat. Don't know if you've already got your rubber grips off, but if you haven't you can either wrestle them off or get a stanley knife and slice along the length and peel it off. (which is what I did, figured I wouldn't need them again) If you do this it's a good idea to cut around the upright disc next the headset so that it provides a spacer/seal between your new grip and the headset. Place the new grip above the handlebar and weigh up where the grub screws will tighten to the bar, then put a couple of turns of masking tape there. Put another couple of turns at the other (outside) end of the bar as well. This will give the grub screws something to grip to and stop the grips vibrating. If you don't they will always be coming loose. Push on the grip and tighten up the grub screws, start engine, put smile on face and go for a ride.
