Is it possible?  They're too big for my hands but I thought someone else might use them if I could get them off w/o destroying them.  I used the glue when I installed them and have shot WD40 in as best I can but they don't seem to be coming off.


Ideas?

Tks,

Bob

I was going to suggest patience, but you seem to have it.
I see it took you almost 10 hours after your 1st post to get PO'ed and cut them off. I may have lasted an hour or two!

Seems a shame to ruin a set of $65 grips as Kur. doesn't sell replacement rubbers...

I just wish I could find the old style $10 bulb type touring grips with 1' interior...

Hi
To late with this reply but maybe if some one else needs a hand this could help.
Try using a valve they use to pump up a basket ball and blow air under the rubber using  a small conpresser or hand pump that should release the glue.Hope that helps someone.

I used an air needle on my compressor to remove my stock grips.  Worked really well, slid right off! Grin

Trial and error, mostly error, I'll figure it out.

did my stock ones that way too. very easy
seems when Kury grips are installed they are nearly always over-glued, makes it a pita to get 'em off.
