Strange request time
If you replace the seals and the coil springs in the seals you remove are intact & not rusty - can I have em please? First one to tell me why I want them (the correct answer that is - it is to do with motorcycles) wins a less fattening cyber Mars Bar.

Much more technical - a repair but not on the TDM.

Have you tried to take the buggers off?
Fitted mine but for some reason the throttle side guard (with the same spacer as the clutch side) was restricting throttle movement, there was probably about 5mm clearance on the clutch side & very little on the throttle side.
Then I decided to fit heated grips so had to take them off, a bugger of a job to get the expanded inner sleeve back out without unscrewing the little conical expansion screw thingy fully & it ending up rattling around inside the handlebars resulting in a strip down of the brake, clutch levers & switchgear to get the bars hanging loose enough to extract the conical nut with a pair of long nosed pliers!
Contemplating if I'll bother putting them back on again!

So if i get them it would be wise to fit them after the heated grips..............

It is just a stick on LED strips, They where under a fiver for the pair on ebay, I wired them into the headlight, it was dead easy. Probably the best mod I made.
They aren't as blue as that in real life.
