David,

Yes, the "friction sleeve" is what I was referring to. On the non heated
grips the sleeve provides a surface for the throttlemeister to contact
(instead of just hitting the rubber on the end of the grip). 

Have to play a little with the washers to get the appropriate amount of
grip. Also, I find its better to use a couple of the really thin washers vs
one larger one. That way if you happen to be on a long run when it looses
its grip, it is a matter of removing a single washer to increase the bite
again. Mine loosened up on my road trip last year - about 2500 miles into
the run. Took me all of 15 seconds to fix it ......
