How to Install Custom Grip Panels Step-by-Step Guide

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.
