cheers

if the grips are total useless
i would use a sharp stanley knife and just cut from end to end and there fall off.

I used utube when i needed to install my hot grips.

Basically get your bar ends off
insert a small scewdriver in between the rubber and the plastic/steel depending what side you on and rotate round to losen any glue.
Then get a bigger screwdriver and insert then spray wd40 into the space and rotate again grip should slip off then clean .

use glue on both sides and slip new grips on, use rubber hammer aswell..

Check utube it will give u hinters

personally i steer clear from using any oil based stuff to get grips on or off, as said hairspray is the best, acts as a lube on and sticks like .... to a blanket.

hi,
seeing as were talking about using hair products.
why not heat the old grips up with a hairdryer, till they become plyable , then they should be easier to remove.just peel them off.
(dont want to cut through the throttle tube with a sharp knife)
then whip out the hairspray & coat the inside of the new grips/outside of the bar & slide the the new grips on.
cheers,
