Default Question about installing bars?

Hey Ijust bought some drag bars. My question is do you have to get new grips or can you use the old ones? I just don't know how they come off. I know alot of off road guys glue them on. Also any tips for the install would be great. I dont have the bars yet but will be on the way shortly and want to put them on asap after getting them.

I do have a manual so hopefully my non-mechanical *** can get er done.

You can use your stock grips. just get a screw drive in between the bar and grip and wiggle the adhesive free, twisting it to break it off. Its kind of a pain but can be done

That's what I did but to be honest with you if I did it again I would just cut the grips off and buy some new ones.
