That's the method I essentially use, but better.
I use 3 small or medium screwdrivers, if they are the same length as the grip it's better.
Phillips work best, but any will work.

stick one in and start turning working it all the way around.
stick two more in equal distant apart.
grab the grip and start twisting working it off the end.

I ordered Grip Puppies Comfort Grips from eBay for my Mrs. and she really likes them. As they don't require removal of the existing grips, I might give them a try.

Reply #20 - 11/11/14 at 18:55:13 i just bought biltwell chumps. sitting on the bike and holding them up they feel comfortable for my tall stature. can't wait to install them. also, with biltwell slimline risers, looks like more than enough slack in the cables.

After breaking the glue loose (spinning the wire it all the way around) use some air pressure and a needle chuck (the one you use to blow stuff clean with) and stick the chuck under the end of the grip.... when the air pressure inflates the grip, slide it off...

I also have grip puppies on my ninja300...nice comfy foam add ons

Here is the air compressor trick.

Reply #22 - 11/22/14 at 23:08:45 I would like to use Super Bars on my 2013 S40 and need to find out what risers that I will need for the Super Bars to clear the tank. Also, will the stock cables and brake line work as is, or will they need to be modified? Kenny G

Try some standard bars... these came off a Harley... I got'em for $20.00...
I have drag bars now... switched for cosmetic reasons... standard bars are the most comfortable...

That's the stock solo seat... slightly contoured the foam, raised 2" in front, and added a faux sheepskin cover... (sheepskin, even faux, makes a huge difference in comfort)...

Anyone know of these will work with stock cables? I don’t want to go with 9in but like 7-8in

Reply #26 - 04/27/19 at 10:04:33 I removed the risers and installed a pair of clubman style bars 'upright'. they are high enough and give a down/rearward angle to the grips that's different from flat/drag/highrise bars. Same wires/cables.
