I just bought the harris CBR racing handlebar grips and was wondering if anybody else has bought these and put them on their bikes? they are made out of some kinda gel which is supposed to be more comfortable while riding, which caught my eye. here is a picture of the grips if anybody is wondering what they look like.

 

and if anybody did change their grips is it hard to do? and what do you need to do the job? thanks

 

not hard to do... just use a razor blade to cut off your old ones.. then use some grip glue and slide the new ones on.... takes a minute usually but still pretty easy.

 

i kinda want to preserve the old ones just in case i need to use them again. is there any other way to take the grips off without destroying the old ones? thanks

 

We sell those grips at the store..cut off the old grip, but the "CBR" part of the grip is just an insert, so do NOT use water to install them[]..I found the quickest easist way to do it is by using compressed air...place the grip as if you were going to slide it up the handle bar ( after the old one is removed obviously!!)..if you take the air nozzle attachment for your air compressor and point "up the handlebar" (meaning from the outside pointing inwards) the grip will " ride" on the air and zip right up the handlebar in a flash..you can reverse the process to remove the old grips except that the throttle side is pretty stubborn

 

do not forget to remove the handle bar weights before you start this project...just stating the obvoius I know....

 

thanks when u mean handle bar weights, do you mean the bar ends? thanks

 

Yeah he means the bar ends. You can also use hair spray to slide them on and then it also tacks them on to stay. I asked this question earlier on here and thats what they told me. To get them off use what limp posted.
