I guess the previous owner applied a ton of glue for his grips.
I've tried wd40 and nail polish removal to break the glue, no luck.
Aside from buying a new sleeve , any other suggestions to get this grip off the sleeve?

 

compressed air? if that don't work grab your knife and cut it off.

 

For the throttle side? That shouldn't be glued down at all!

As far as the clutch side, I just took a knife to the stock grips and peeled them right off.

I think he is trying to remove the plastic sleeve from inside the throttle grip so he can put on a different grip.
What grips are you trying to install? Most grips that are made for the throttle side come with the sleeve..

 

Don't even bother. If it's stuck that bad just spend the extra couple bucks to buy a new one. I ripped mine out and almost broke the damn thing.

 

its looking like I might have to buy the sleeve. Tomorrow I will give it one more shot with goo gone.
As for the prev post, they are skull grips.

 

This is the clutch side grip.

 

shove a small screwdriver down the grip to kind of stretch it out a little..if wd40 doesn't work, spray some carb cleaner down there next to the screwdriver in a few places(just clean it out fast if you plan on keeping the grips), the grip should twist a little then slide rite off. i have seen some grips on good, but never one that wouldn't come off.. try taking the lever and switches off, put a 2x4 against the grip and drive it off with a hammer

 

ok here is how to do it.....get a metal coat hanger and cut about 12 inches of it off and straighen it out ...next bend it to a capitol "T" shape....file the bottom of the "T" smooth .....now shove the bottom of the "T" in between the handle bar and the grip until it reaches the end of the handlebar....now twist the top of the "T" and it should walk around the handlebar the opposite way that you twist....keep twisting until the wire walks all the way around the handlebar circumference....pull out the "T" and the grip should come off now....
