Default Grip Removal !

I am looking to put new grips on my wives RK. The grips that are on it are Kury iso's. I believe the left grip is glued on, does anyone have a trick to get this off without trashing the grip? Also any suggestions on a smaller diameter grip?

When I removed mine, I took an old coat hanger and just started working it down inside the grip. I'd push it a little and twist it around the handle bar until all the glue was broken loose.

Haven't changed grips on my harley yet, but have changed a few of them on dirt bikes and used air. put the blower attachment next to the inside end of the grip and give it a steady blast of air, usually works with grips that had glue or not.
