   Love handle bars

[Devilock]

Smell em...

[Gary72]

Put on using cable ties, No waiting for anything to dry. Remove using WD40 and the little red straw that comes with it

[HARODAVE]

I use GT85 or similar but curious if there were better ways. Also how about removal...?

Remove the bars, fill a basin with boiling hot water - dip the bar end in for 30 seconds or so, and the grip will be pliable and will slip off with ease  

WHAT HE SAID ....SAVE THE LUBE FOR THE BEDROOM!!!

Smell em...

That's a job for Gaz and Joff.

WD40 

[SaMAlex]

I could never understand why WD40 worked until someone told me that it "corrodes" the rubber a tiny bit which helps it stick to the bars. Ive no idea of thats true, but ive used it ever since and its always worked.

WD40 Works great for getting grips off to, esp if you want to put new grips on the same bars (or if you want to put the old grips onto something else) cos you dont have to wait for the "removal lube" to dry, cos its also the sticking lube.

Confession time....... Last year I nicked a near empty can of hairspray out of me Gran's bathroom!!!

 use either a foot pump or a stirup pump with the pointed adapter, two people are best for this job,
one person puts the palm of their hand flat and tight over the hole in the end of the grip while holding the grip inthe other hand.
the other person puts the small adapter in the hole of the other grip and holds it there while pumping, the air pressure wile cause one of the grips to expand slightly and if you time it right you can just pull the grip off with no damage to bars or grip.
one the first one is off repeat for the second grip but this time insert your knob into the hole in the bars from where the first grip has been removed.

i've done this many times and always found the grips to be totaly reuseable as they only expand a fraction and go straight back to shape. The same however cannot be said about my knob ..... it has never quite been the same since

and where spen, the other member of the comedy gang?
he can have one in advance

WD40 always works for me.

Poke a spoke down the grip, spray some in, wiggle it (just a little bit) and pull it off with so much ease that you fall over backwards.

To get them on: Quick squirt of Lynx, always does the trick.
To get them off: Peel back the flange, spit in it and manipulate with your hand.

Your suggestion for removing them Nick sounds like some sex education technique...!

[Spen69]

Cheers Andy, but the boyz had all the jokes about your senility and devience covered I thought.

Just boul a kette, fill a pint glass and tip the bike on it's side so you can dunk the grip in. No need to take the bars off - the grips come off easy. To put them back on just dunk them in the glass of boiling water and slide them on. Simples.

No need for sexual obscenities or perverted habbits, just don't burn you fingers you retards!

[wildon]

just give the bar ends a little sloppy suck and slide em on

[Devilock]

Ive found for removal placing each end in a sink of boiling water without the bike attached, very affective.
