Changing out the 1" grips on a Savage is a piece of cake. Tap the chrome end caps off with a screwdriver. Throw them away. Slice off the left rubber grip, and throw it away. You may need to reuse the chrome collar, if not, slide it off and throw it away. Remove the screw from the throttle cable. Remove the two screws from the switch housing and seperate the halves. Twist the throttle grip until you can unhook the cable. Slice off the rubber as before. Spray the inside of your new grips with hairspray or WD40, they will both set up rock hard when they dry. I prefer WD40, have been using it for years as grip lube/cement.
With the new grips in place, attach the throttle cable. Reinstall the screws. Gas up bike. Go for test ride, come home and kick yourself for putting those awful, too fat grips on your bike. -WD
