I have a 1995 vlx shadow and have some new iso grips to install. Just wondering how the old grips are removed?

i am not sure exactly how they come off..but i do know that the chrome end caps on the outside of the grips twist off,im guessing that once they are off the old grips will slide off when some persuasion..i've heard some say they had to slice them length wise to split them to get them off,but again,im not sure..i've never tried to take mine off.

Thin screwdriver, slide it inside, lever up a bit squirt wd40 inside, work the screwdriver round and it comes off..when you fit the new ones use proper grip glue and make sure you do it right, I have seen people try to hold their bike up by the grip and get left with a grip in their hand and the bike on the ground..

This works great and you can reuse the grips if you find a similar application.

Also, on road bikes, I have never needed to glue the grips on. Surely makes it easier to switch grips around.
