Changing Handle grips

[Guest RGOYEA]

Can anyone tell me an easy or is there something tricky about changing handlebar grips on an 06 Venture.

I would like to put on after market but can't get the originals off.

Any ideas would be appreciated - Thanks

I had the same question when I was changing mine. My neighbor told me to take a utility knife and just split the old grip and open it up and it would come right off. He was right!!

Look carefully at the end of the bar weight. You will see a small plug, pop it out with a sharp knift blade. There is a allen screw in the end of the weight holding it on.

After you dismounted the Weight, start your Compressor and plug on the Airgun. Use a Screwdriver to lift a small Part of the Grip and blow the Air between The Grip and the Handlebar.

 

You will have the Grip undone with three or four Turns on the Grip.
