Title: removing grips
Post by: brettnai on January 30, 2008, 07:45 PM

I need to remove some grips and if poss keep them intact to refit after I've put some levers on.
Is there an easy way of doing this?

Slide a screw driver between the grip and the bars and spray WD40 in the gap, few twists and hey presto  :daumenhoch:

Or use a pump with a thin nozzle while blocking any holes on the oppisite grip works a treat and leaves no residue on your grips so they dont slide off when your flying down the offy.  :daumenhoch:
