schmuckingham Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Cant quite figure out how to get the grips off my '95 Fizzer and my crappy manual doesnt say how. I tried to twist the ends off but either i am a nancy boy or they are really on there. Hell i cant even find replacment ones without flames or lights on the end...........damn old bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Cut them. if your not going to try to re-use them. they are most likely glued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Just use a vice grip pliers and maybe a lil heat! I like fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisoh Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yeah if you want new just cut them off.You can get just standard grips... Clip on size hasn't change from what I know, try Pro Grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 yeah theyre probably glued, try out renthal too, they offer plain colors, but different firmness levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 make sure that you put the right one back on though, (throttle side will be a bit larger that clutch side.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 air compressor. works like a charm every time, even if they're glued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 ^ yup. air compressor FTW. sometimes i stick a long screwdriver under them to get em going. but if you dont want to save them, then cut em off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renegadmonk Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Cut them. if your not going to try to re-use them. they are most likely glued+1 ....i got a 73 cb450 i am restoring and had to cut the grips off of....vice grips just sheered off the gripping material.

schmuckingham Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I cut the grips off with ease. The throttle side was simple but one of the previous owners decided on the clutch side they would wind duct tape around the bar and then put the grip on. The tape had become super sticky and gross......what a pain.Also the bar ends had been painted ( not a good idea) before they were installed so they had paint all over the thread and needed cohersed into being removed with a giant pair of vice grips.Some peoples engineering makes me angry:beating: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
