    Air

    All you need is 120 psi air out of a hose. Aim the air nozel at the seam on the bar-end and blow the suckers off

    Nick_Ninja is right, although I've gotten mine off with about 60psi

    Or you could always just cut through the old grips with a knife or razor blade. Be careful on the throttle side though, don't wanna fook that up.

    I have used a sqirt bottle with a couple of drops of dish soap. Just get the end of the grip up enough to give it a sqirt and work the grip around to loosen.

    What is the bet way that you guys have found to keep them on? I have in the past just used Aquanet hair spay.

    The bicycle trick is to squirt Windex under to get them off and hairspray to put them on. It works great on motorcycles.
    Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

    im laughing at myself right know. i used the air hose and that worked like a charm. but the throttle side grip is to small and my white throttle casing dealy sticks out a little. it just made me laugh.
