I had no problems getting the factory grips off my 2014 SB. Just move the switch housing out of the way, slide a very small flat head screw driver under the grip and spray a bit of wd-40 between grip and bars. Slowly work your way around the bar with the screwdriver, you'll hear the glue cracking a bit and then pull the grip right off.
If you weren't aware already, the new 2014 bikes have micro connectors, so when changing the bars, even though your factory shop manual and most videos will tell you that you'll need to remove the tank and de-pin your connectors you should not have to do this. I was able to remove the wires from the stock bars and re-wire without having to de-pin anything, wires came out of the neck with no tank removal.
Sounds like you already know how to do everything but the above info is not widely out there.
have fun!

Yea jp cycles is the best vendor in my opinion they have great customer service when I called the girl was really helpful she asked no questions they went ahead and shipped me a knew set and ups will pick up the other set I thought It might have been like that on purpose from burly but it's a ding about the size of a quarter right where the bars flare from inch to 1 and quarter I think this weekend I'll take the throttle side control off and see if the master cylinder will cover it if it does I think ill out them on

You did the right thing, like BigDog says, you paid to have the parts you wanted, not a blemish or dented item.
Good luck, looking forward to pics when done!
