What You Will Need
Before starting, make sure you have:
- The compatible custom grip panels
- Your original grip screws (our grips do not include screws — if you need new ones, see our grip screw sets)
- A small screwdriver set
- A clean, well-lit workspace
- A soft cloth or mat to protect surfaces
Safety First
Always ensure the platform is completely unloaded and in a safe condition before starting any installation. Work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging parts or misalignment.
Step 1: Remove Existing Panels
Carefully locate the screws or fasteners holding the current grip panels in place.
- Loosen and remove the screws
- Gently lift the existing panels away
- Keep all screws in a safe place for reuse
Avoid using excessive force—if something feels stuck, recheck the fasteners.
Step 2: Check Fitment
Before installation, compare the new grip panels with the frame:
- Ensure mounting holes align correctly
- Check edges for proper fit
- Confirm left and right orientation
This step is important to avoid installation issues later.
Step 3: Position the New Panels
Place the custom grip panels onto the frame:
- Align them carefully with the mounting points
- Make sure the edges sit flush against the surface
- Hold them in place while preparing screws
Proper alignment ensures a clean and secure finish.
Step 4: Secure the Panels
Insert the screws and tighten them gently:
- Start all screws loosely first
- Then tighten gradually in a balanced order
- Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage
The panels should feel stable but not forced.
Step 5: Final Check
After installation:
- Check that both sides are secure
- Ensure there is no movement or looseness
- Confirm comfortable grip and alignment
If anything feels off, loosen and readjust carefully.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your grip panels in great condition:
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth
- Avoid harsh chemicals or moisture exposure
- Periodically check screw tightness
- Store in a stable environment
Proper care helps maintain both appearance and durability.
Final Thoughts
Installing custom grip panels is a simple process when done step by step. Taking your time ensures a perfect fit, better comfort, and a premium finished look.
A well-installed grip not only enhances appearance but also improves overall handling experience.
