If you don't want to cut the left on off, you can work it loose a little bit around the edge and used compressed air to break the glue free. If you already have replacement grips, the left one will come free just by loosening the switch housing

When I replaced the bars I replaced the grips, easier that way. He wanted to know if he had to cut them off. I should have said that. lol

I just did a grip replacement on a 10 SG and the left one did not need to be cut. It didnt slide off easy, but work it a little and it will. Not much effort was needed.
