should be the same as 11 sg, loosen and remove screws holding the turn signal housing on, slightly seperate them and slide grip off.

No need to cut grips off if they are stock. Just loosen the housing and the grip comes right off, no glue involved if you replace with Harley grips.

I had to cut my left one, it was glued on there tight. But for the OP it was relatively an easy swap for me

The left grip (non throttle) IS glued on, you will have to cut it, or work it hard twisting back and forth until you break the glue(what I did). Both sides you have to split the switch housings and might have to loosen and move the lever mounts inward to get enough slack to split the switch housings enough.

I just put the ISO grips on mine a couple of weeks ago and had to do all of the above. The throttle grip is not glued and will just slide on and off, indexing on the teeth at the end of the grip.

Caution on the Right/throttle side...protect your brake switch (use small cardboard, or plastic strip) and watch your torque on both switch housings. Those little torx-head screws will snap off quite easily.
