Default Hotgrip removal.

heyho...

can anybody tell me if hotgrips can be taken off the bike without damaging them?

im in the process of fitting raised clipons..well more like scratching my head and swearing frustratedley at an innocent grip not sure weather to go in with a screw driver to break the bond of superglue but i might damage the innuds of the hotgrip

thanks in advance

It just depends how strongly they were glued on... I've removed mine a few times but I use the bare minimum of glue for this reason. Twisting the grips is the best way to get them moving.
