Re: grips
Take the bar ends off if you have them (bolt might be seized in place)
Get a thin screwdriver and slide it under the grip, prise it up & squirt some WD40 between grip & bar, wiggle grip around aqnd it'll slide off. Clean WD40 off bar. Get new grip & some hairspray (yes, hairspray) squirt some hairspray on the inside of the grip, slide it on and let it set. Jobs, jobbed
