replacing right hand controls

OK I'm sure I'll feel stupid when I find out but I'm stumped. I need to replace my on/off/start switch and if they are in there, I can't find instructions for disassembly in the FSM.  Easy enough to detach the wiring at the switch, but how do you remove the throttle cables to move the grip to the new switch housing?

There are two screws, accessed on the bottom of the switch housing. Completely remove the two screws, separate the two halves of the housing, the throttle assembly will be released.
Be sure to lubricate the cables while you have it apart.

Stupid is when you "don't" ask and then break something

...and if you want to change the (lower) housing to another new one, sure you have to disconnect the throttle cables from the carbs, then you can srew them out of the lower housing.!
