Handle Grips?

[SUNNY1881]

Sorry guys I'm a rook! But how do I remove my current handle grips, I was thinking an exacto knife/razor blade to cut them off, right? Plus how do I install the new ones, I know they just slip-on but do I need to buy handle grip glue or some kind of spray I've heard? Any suggestions would be great, Thanks, Sunny.

you could just fold them back and pull on them with a rag and wet down the bars with soapy water. or cut them off, ive heard an air compressor works too. yes you will need glue to put the new ones on, i wet my bars for that too and put some glue on and just slid them on quick and adjusted to where they needed to be and let them sit for a while and they arent moving now.

they also make tie wire for the grips so that they don't slip off.

I cut mine off, but the other suggestions work fine.  Also, Hairspray (Non-aresol pump stuff) has worked well for me for grips on Quads and MX bikes.

make sure to clean the contact area after removing the grips to get a good bond

Air compressor to remove and hairspray to reapply.     Buy some Oury grips... you can thank me later.  :grin_nod:

cut them on both sides. then to put the grips on i suggest using grip glue. ive had bad experiences using hairspray and i hate the odi lock ons.

Yeah I got some grip glue, I dont ride in a lot of water being that I'm in the nice hot Desert of Phoenix, Az but I dont want to chance it or have any issues while I'm out riding, you know what I mean. Thanks for all the advice guys just waiting for the grips to get here them I can put them on, Thanks again, Sunny!

Never had a problem with hairspray, although the climate is much dryer here, wonder if humidty makes a diffrence

Black spray paint & let it dry for a day

Well, the way I look at it is, grip glue cost me $2.00 so why not go with it for $2.00 and not have a chance of having any issues, right!

Is the grip glue working well so far?
