Removing Grips

Post by sibes67 » Wed Mar 04, 2015 9:24 am

Bought some re-pro soft grips & wondering best way to remove old grips, which are originals I think, so they have been on there for a long time. Am thinking squirting a bit of WD down there and slowly working them off by twisting. Especially wondering about the throttle grip side; any ideas that have worked?

Dunk them in a pot of boiling water. Makes the grip supple again and softens any adhesive that's holding it to the 'bar.

Or try warming with heat gun then blowing compressed air under grip with air gun.
