Due to interference with the front brake lever and my newly installed heated grips, I need to rotate the throttle housing about 30 degrees.  It looked very simple to do until I removed the two Philips head screws that hold the emergency cut-off switch to the bottom half of the housing.  The bottom half seems to be fastened to the handlebar.  I can't see how it is fastened or where it is fastened.  Anyone have an idea?

The heated grip has been glued on and I don't want to take a chance on damaging it by trying to remove it from the throttle tube.

There's little pins that register your lever perches and stuff to the
handlebars through little holes in the handlebars... could this be it?

It might be, I just can't see how to get to it.

Just pull the housing out. You will either need to drill a new hole in the bars or grind off the nub on the housing. I think I would go with a new hole.

That crazy glue dries fast Wink. The instructions probably say to try a dry fit first? If they were Oxford Heated Grips I know the instructions say that. Put them on two bikes so far and it's a good idea to check for any interference between the grips and the controls before gluing things ...

Harry, you are absolutely right.  I did a pre-fit and then when I applied the glue I didn't pay attention and put it in the wrong position.

Thank you everyone for the replies.  I'll fix it tonight.
