I misread your post, digr. There's no spring. There are two cables with little brass thingers.. There's a name for them but it escapes me at the moment.... You adjust the forward cable to increase or decrease the return strength. Took me a bit to figure that out. Once you have the grip attached, and throttle cables adjusted, you loosen the two screws on the end of the grip, and adjust the angle of the throttle boss.

The clutch side installation was the scary part. You have to glue that on. The brake side just slides on and gets held in place by the switch housing. Removing the blue grip on the clutch side required the use of my dremel with a cut off wheel. I sliced it open like a fish. Then I threw it disdainfully into the bin.

Installing the new grip:
1. Sand the bar clean of the old glue.
2. Sand the whole area with 80 grit to make a receptive surface for the glue
3. Clean with windex, clean the inside of the grip. The grip is thick soft rubber inside.
4. Take a deep breath
5. Remember to align the skull the way you want it
6. Sploodge the glue into the grip, immediately schmear it as far in and thoroughly as you can manage quickly.
7. Cram the grip up the bar as quickly and smoothly as you can.

The instructions say you have 6 seconds once the air is gone before the glue sticks. I got one good shove and it didn't move again. Fortunately, it's on far enough that you can't tell that I could have maybe got it 1/4-1/2" higher up the bar. The rigid chrome part of the grip is such that there is no wobble.

I also replaced the battery and air filter. I got a lot done today.
