Ol' lady's hair spray works as good as glue, and easier to remove later.

How do you get a grip that's glued on to come off? I used the black widow glue that comes with the Iso grips, now I want to switch out my handlebars. That grip is on there, not sure how I'm gonna get it free.

I've used air pressure in the past. A little heat from a hair dryer, then insert an air line under the grip. You don't need 110 psi here, unless you want to create either a bomb or a missile. Also, make sure the grip isn't aimed at something breakable. lol

Wrap the bar in a spiral from the inside working out to the end of the bar. Tuck the tape into the open end of the bar. Spray the tape and inside of the grip with hair pray.... lots of hair spray ..... twist the grip on.
Did it this way a year ago when I changed the bars. Grip still hasn't moved
