Throttle grip removal.....

[Charlie G]

I used a hot air gun on mine, which is a really powerful hair drier. It softens the rubber/glue and you push from the center of the bars outward. If you pull on the ends it acts like chineese thumb cuffs and tightens onto the bars. This is what worked for me.

When it comes time to install the new grips....use hairspray........ there is no reason at all to use glue it just makes it virtually impossible to remove them at a later date without damaging them usually to the point of unusable.
Hairspray will allow the grips to slide on and when dried they hold extremely well, when you need to remove them all you need to do is get a nice firm grip and twist they will come off. I've been using the hairspray for thirty years and it works great.
Don't use glue, you end damaging them when you remove them.

WACKY941...dealer told me basically the same thing.They told me to just spray some paint on the bar and let it get a bit tacky..Then if you wanna remove them a goos stiff twisting will break them loose.
