Adjusting left grip angle

I rotated my handlebars back toward me a few degrees to alleviate shoulder and neck pain (I hope). Changing the angle on the right side grip was easy enough, but I couldn't' figure out how to adjust the left side grip. The right side grip has a clamp that goes around the handlebar (part #7), but I can't see anything like that on the left side. Suggestions?

I think that it's pinned to the bar so that it won't rotate. Be very careful when adjusting the front brake lever position, I've found that it is possible to rotate it so that the throttle cable outlet can interfere with the lever travel.

Yeup. Just found that out yesterday. There's a screw that goes right through the handlebars and keeps the clutch-side grip from rotating. Without re-drilling that hole, I think there's no way to change the angle.

Yeup. Found that out yesterday too. Was adjusting the front brake angle, and had to rotate the throttle as well to keep the two from interfering.
