Easy hand grip removal
Just did my grips today
Pay no attention to the knife thing in the instructions
Instead take a pair of dykes/diagonals/wire cutters/cutting pliers or whatever they are called in your part of the country
Insert them in the hole in the end and start nipping
Cut through and up splitting the grip as you go
Done in seconds plus no slipping with a knife and off to (insert your town here) County General for stitches

RE: Easy hand grip removal
I have found you can sometimes remove them whole if there's not a gallon of glue in there.
Insert a piece of wire coat hanger into the grip, between the bar and the inside of the grip. Bend the portion of the wire still sticking out 90 degrees into an "L" shape and then use it to rotate the wire as you work it around the grip, breaking the glue bond. You can also spray WD-40 in there as well.

Gotta go with air compressor route. Anyone want an old pair of grips intact. I'm riding with Iso Grips now.
