Default removing Kuryakyn ISO hand grips??

Hey my friends!!

I'm looking to remove my newly installed Kury ISO grips. They're just too damn big for my hands (i have puny hands). Basically what happened is I've installed 10 mini apes, and my hands are fatiguing from having to apply constant pressure because they don't wrap all the way around. haha

Basically i'd like to remove these, but i know that sometimes you have to destroy the left hand grip in order to remove it depending on the adhesive. Obviously the right hand grip won't be too much of an issue, as that can come off fairly easily. My question is -Is there a way to do it without destroying the left hand grip? i'd like to be able to sell or at least GIVE these ISO's away... they're brand new and i'd hate to kill them, cuz they're quite beautiful grips!

Did you glue the left grip on?

I took mine off too, I didn't like how big they were. But I'd snugged the left grip with friction tape, so it came off fairly easily.

Sometimes, a careful person can twist them firmly to break the glue. Another trick is to stick a coat hanger down the grip to break it loose.

Work a screwdriver down between the bar and grip, remove it and spray WD40 down the void. Do this all the way around the grip. Keep trying to twist it as you go.

I removed and kept mine in good condition.Sold them here. The Grip glue is basically gel super glue. All I did was twist it with the end cap off using both hands to cover the Grip fully. Broke loose and all good. They were glued on well too.The fun part is getting all the glue chunks out of the inside of the grip. Have fun.

Yunno, that's a really good idea. Excellent insurance policy in case you don't like the grips. Think i might steal that idea myself.

If you have an air compressor you can shoot air underneath while pulling and twisting.
