Default grips/shifter

i am thinking that i want to change out my grips and the shifter on the harley to some chrome ones i found at hog alley, is it gonna be a pain in the ass or it is as simple as slip off slip on? and is it the same with the shifter?

It's not bad. Refer to some videos on youtube if you need some guidance.

Are you concerned mainly about LOOK or function ??

If it's look......I can't help.

For function, I like foam slip-ons.
They fit over most anything if you get the right size and have a better feel and function than most stock ones I've seen, which tend to be too thin for my taste. About $12 at your local bike shop; probably more if it's the Harley shop.

P.S. I found out the hard way that "grip cement" is NOT good for them. They swell up and become even looser.
