If you were going to change the grips and not the bars, then you would need to remove the right grip from the throttle sleeve.

You can use a long thin screwdriver and insert it under the rubber to break loose the glue and help to twist it off. If you have an air compressor, air can be helpful. The throttle side has a sleeve and is easy to remove.

- February 03, 2011, 21:11:08 PMMy 800 came with a set of T bars ( handlebars ) and nice Kuryakn iso grips. I picked up a set of stock bars and risers, ( I like the traditional look better ) , and would like to put the grips on the stock bars. Tried to remove the left side first, to no avail , and an internet search shows the company includes super glue for the install. One suggestion was a screwdriver blade followed by brake cleaner spray, hairspray ect to dissolve the glue or a razor knife and 4" grinder. Anybody ever been here before? I'd like to reuse those grips.
