can am grips

[the_real_wild1]

Has anyone taken off their grips? I am not sure what they are using for glue but I cant get the fawkers off. Tried the air trick, wd 40, penatrating oil. If I go with stronger chemicals the grips will melt. She asked me if I wanted new grips and I said no. Guess I should have grabbed them.

Nevermind. Not sure why I didnt think of it before. Good time to put on heated grips instead.

which grips did you end up buying? can-ams? how much were they?

 

[the_real_wild1]

I went with moose. They had the exact same one with a different label made by symtec. I was looking at the new can am one made for the 2012's. They look like the best option but they wont fit on the older models unless you do some redrilling.

how did you get the grips off?

 

[the_real_wild1]

I never did get them off. The suggestion was made to try a heat gun to melt the epoxy holding them on. I might try that when I go back to work.

I could not get mine off without wrecking them.

For the cost of regular grips I am probably going to toss them with the bent bars.

Ya All we did was heated up and cut down line of handlebars and tossed them.

I havent done a set of can am grips ......yet
But for other Makes/models i just wedge a flathead in between the grip and bar, make a space to squirt some water in, and twist grip, works every time.
And i have installed moose winter packs time and time again. Popo's, cats, suzooks, kymco's, yammy's..but i havent tried a can am yet.
