If it is anything like mine were, you'll probably have to use a utility knife to cut the old pair off. I used Honda Grip glue to put the new ones on. Jeff

I had to cut off the clutch side when I changed grips. Then when I put on the Rally Pros I had to drill out the inside of the bar, there was so much grip cement from the factory. By the way, you might try using some hair spray....it will make the grips slip right on and then it will dry and turn into glue.

If they feel right they're right. I did the last replecement in about 20 min. I used dish detergent to slide them on. Ed Windsor Oh

Why not call it "Skips Lobotomy". Hmmmm, right side lobotomy - does this make the KLR more emotional and feeling or more precise and analytical? Knot - who knows about disorder, mental that is.
