you should have a small black bag with the tools to tear the bike apart on the trail

Just do the grips yourself. Can of hairspray and some lock-wire.

Hey Bob, welcome to the forums, sorry about the tool kit, and you're right its mostly junk anyway, but I have one on my bike and I take extra tools. Good luck, and stick around and get to know us here........wait if you get to know us you might leave........never mind.

my dealer called the house and got my dad about this. he asked the guys if he was stoned, he said no, he ended up on the floor laughing that this could even be recalled. i had mine done just because the fork seals went out (done under warrenty after some heavy pushing on my part). ended up getting new bars and stuff a week later. any diffrence in the grips, didnt look like it.

You got that right. Maybe they will recall for under inflated tires next.

Awesome trick. A friend of mine that works in a bike shop showed it to me and it's the only reason I have hairspray in the house. (Well, garage, actually. ) People are amazed when they see how well it works.
