Default Stock grip removal

Is there any way to remove the stock handlebar grips without cutting them off? I just got a pair of ProGrips to try but if I don't like them I'd like to be able to put the stock ones back on.

I also just installed the DG Baja full skid plate on my Wolverine. It fits great and appears to be very strong.

Thanks

If there is not already one, poke a small hole in the end of the grip. Then take an air hose (compressed air) and put the nozzle in the hole. Apply pressure slowly and hole the hose tightly. The other grip should come off of the handlebar. Then, move the airhose to the other side and wrap the hose nozzle with a rag. Apply pressure and the second grip should come off. This has yet to fail for me.

Good Luck.

Ride on.

Use 3M heavy duty weatherstrip adhesive for Oury grips. I also wire tie mine. I've never had one slip this way.

I use progrip grip glue on my ourys...they can't twist or pop off anymore. Or you can also use wire to keep them on.

You actually don't have to poke a hole in the end of the grip.

You could do it that way if you want.

You can take the compressed air and just pull the flange of the grip back a little and blow air at high pressure under there (where the grip meets the bar, by your levers). It inflates the grip and you can pull it right off.

the best way to slip new grips on is with soppy warer, it slides on good and when it dries it isn't sliporie aney more and your grips won't slip off



good luck!
