Does anyone have any tips on how to remove a left side metal Kuryakyn grip that is glued on? I was thinking a heat gun might loosen it up so I could it but I wasn't sure.

 

You could try heat; use a twisting motion on the grip as you heat it to try and break it loose. Compressed air shot under the grip may also help break it loose...

A trick for future reference: I never glue the left side grip on, I use blue painters tape. I wrap the tape on the bar near the switch housing where the end of the grip will sit; I add tape and slide the grip on and test fit until the grip is snug on the bar, when the upper and lower switch housing is tightened back up the grip doesn't move.

I used a flat head screwdriver and destroyed the grip getting it off.

 

wd 40, a hanger to break glue, and brute twistie force.

 

razor blade.

 

Yup, twist it mightily,, call a Gorilla friend and have him over for a beer,,
or wait till he's had 3 beers and tell him he couldn't get that grip off if he tried!

 

I never use glue to install the grip. I use electrical tape wound on the grip like a candy cane.

 

You might also try PB Blaster or Aero Kroil....both are penetrating oils and should creep into the space between the grip and the handlebars. After the oil has time to penetrate, try a strap wrench on it.
