Heated grips removal - Chris potato_imp - 07-13-2018
Hi there any tips on removing left hand heated grip please for re-use on new bars.Thank you

Well it seems you are not able to remove without cutting off replacement kit £250 whaaaaaaat so am stuck with original bars and a new set I have bought can’t be used.

Chris, it should come off just like any other grip. You can work some isopropyl alchohol under it to break the glue, or some use compressed air to blow them off. Work something thin in to help work it off.
I’m sure you will get more thoughts. I know I could get mine off my ST without cutting it. Same grip on the CB.

Thank you no success yet but will persevere hacksaw blade with teeth filed off and the alcohol I have never heard of thanks.Chris

The alcohol thing was in the Honda instructions when I installed heated grips on the ST.
The hacksaw blade is interesting. You can work it in and lift up some and get more alcohol in deeper. Keep working, you’ll get it off.

I understood that the alcohol was for the person working on the grips !

just had mine removed today for a new set of grip to replace the non heated grip. It really hard to come off as it was glue. Need to work little by little in by a small screw driver and twist hard to get it off
