well im going with more chrome again,Will my stock grips
be hard to remove??dont know where to start,going with
chome and rubber style a brief how to would be great,thanks
Very easy...
Split the left one lengthwise with a razorblade. remove switch housing and off it comes.
Throttle side, put a piece of cardboard in the brake lever, remove switch housing (some, no need to fully pull it off) loosen throttle cables,pop the ferrules, and slide grip off.
Be sure to put a towel under the right grip to catch the ferrules if you drop them.
Same as Rubarb said above unless you want to save the left. If you have an air compressor, use a small screwdriver to loosen the rubber toward the front and then using an air blower blow air into the grip. The grip will start to loosen from the force and with a little playing around it will come off in one piece.

As the others mentioned, it really is easy and a DIY project for sure. Just take your time. Do as Rhubarb said, but loosen the throttle cables enough so you can easily "slip" the cables (with ferrules) out. I wouldn't "pop" them because you need to reinstall them with any new right-side grip and they are SMALL! I swapped the stock ones for a set of Kuryakyn ISO Grips w/Throttle Boss and it probably took me about 45 minutes, but I went very slowly. Good luck!
