controls are easy, just unscrew them and remove the locating pin on the inside.  they're not necessary.

Throttle grip is easy, comes off with control, just pull off the silver cap.

clutch side will be fun.  if stock it's glued on.  hope you got an air compressor, wd40 helps.  stick the air nozzle between the grip and bar and inflate it. a squirt of wd40 will keep it from bonding back.

I use long small Phillips screwdrivers to help separate the grip from the bar.  stick them in where you can and work them around.  twist and pull.  come on... smile you're enjoying this.  

oh I forgot, you got new grips, getting the grip off the throttle is a b!tch.  It's got ribs molded into the plastic and grooves in the rubber.
put it back on the bar for support, you break the plastic that's all she wrote.  can't figure it out?  cut it off.  and sand the ribs down.

I have a new handlebar so I wont need to save either of the stock grips. I actually haven't bought those grips yet. I was wanting to make sure they will work. They are actually just like bicycle grips in a way. Will the work as long as they are the same diameter.

So on the throttle side i can cut the grip and then sand down the ribs on the plastic?
