Title: changing grips
Post by franch on 06/30/09 at 12:25:15

I have tried doing a search but come up with nada,. I know this topic has been covered but here is the question anyway.
Can i re-use my old grips ?
i am about to order some nice 10" z bars but am wondering if i need to order new grips and also either way how to get old ones off and back on or old off and new on ?
thanks

i'd like to know how to change grips as well...i've seen some very wicked ones!

i heard they were just glued on and u heat em up and slide them off then spray glue and stick em on.....don't quote me though

Have you ever loosened the grips on a bicycle when you were younger to simulate a throttle for a motorcycle? If so, the same exact procedure.

Yes they can be re-used if you don't screw them up getting them off.

Yeah except mine were the white ones that came pre-loosened from the factory, so when I went for some motorbike action the grip slipped off and I busted it big time.

Oh yeah, you can get grips off easily by squirting some compressed air under them. Breaks the bond in no time.
