Expect to buy new grips. Getting HD grips off is a bitch!

Some grips don't require much or any glue. A "hard" glue will separate from the bar when squeezing the grip. Use grip glue. I personally don't glue my grips.

Usually i'll just use brake cleaner or hair spray on the inside of the grip, works for me

i did anticipate having some problems with getting the grips off.
iv herd lots of WD40 will help.
if that doesnt work, i have the option of a friend with an air compressor.
so hard glue, like super glue isnt the best.
so hair spray will work for the grip to "grip" the bar? interesting

thanks guys

I used simple gorilla glue. All the "grip glue" I have used in the past would still come apart and I would be reapplying every 3 months or so.
