How to remove handle grip?

So I need to get to my on/off switch cluster and need to remove my handle grip. What's the best way to do that? Heat gun? Also what do you use to re-attach it back in place.

x2 - compressed air will slip them right offand back on again.

you might have to use a heat gun if they were cemented on.

Might also want to use a little hair spray on the bars when you put the grips back on. Or if you have a wife or girlfriend that frowns on that sort of thing, you can buy grip glue.
