Grips are always a pain in the butt. I recommend getting a new set of grips and cutting your old ones off. Use hairspray to put your new ones on with. They will slide on like a breeze and then when the hairspray dries it is sticky and your grips stay put. |

Yeah, Grips could be a pain in the neck. I found by using a thin screwdriver and the air hose from my compressor, you can actually blow the grips off. |

the air compressor thing is a good trick, I'll have to try it. A little bit of spray paint also works as a lube to get new grips on and glues them in place once they are where you want them. use it sparingly though. |
