handle grip removal : Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com

I would like to know if its easy to change the handle grip. I want to put this one from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting It look like it will give a better grip and it match the bike.

I was also thinking about these lever http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suzuk...spagenameZWDVW because my finger feel like its going to slip off the clutch lever. They are very expensive but I am thinking safety. it definitely look like I would get a solid grip with those.

You'll definately be the cat's meow at the local starbucks with that junk.

the stock grips are as easy to take off as slicing down the middle with a razor blade.

OR if you want to save the grips in case your new ones get worn out (aftermarket grips can do that), use an air compressor and any straw-like attachment to get under the grip and blow air under the grip. It will come right off.

PS-You can install them this way, too.

Or just a long, thin flathead screwdriver...

But really, those grips and levers will just make people think you want big hairy men stick things up your poop chute... Leave the chopper things for choppers...

I just installed some on mine. They are Harri's GSXR grips. I suggest you cut them with a razor or some sharp scissors. Really easy. For my bike I washed the excess glue off with soap and water. I suggest using a sponge or something with a kind of rough surface to get all the gunk off. After that apply grip glue to the inside of the grip and on the handlebar. Then you really have to work fast and stretch the thing on at first then push from the outside. Also move it back and forth. For the throttle side a suggest putting it on without grip glue unless you are really experienced. This side takes a lot longer and the glue will dry if you don't get it on in time, then things become really difficult. This side just stretch and pull and push a lot. It will eventually go on. Or try to put some soapy water on the inside of the grip. I heard that helps. Good luck!!

thanks for the response, I didn't know it was install with glue.
by the way I was considering neon for the bottom the header is right there and the heat going to ruin it, but thanks for the idea. I will go with led instead.

**BuiltforSin** · 11-17-2007, 09:08 AM

**Daimian** · 11-17-2007, 09:23 AM

While I do agree that they are fuckin fugly Nobody has to ride this guys bike but him. Dude if you like them get them, It's your bike. But Slicing the stock ones is the easiest way.
