Actually, I just installed them tonight. Zmilin's advice on the WD-40 was spot on!! The left grip came off with no problem. I even found a date stamp on the bar, Feb 2007. Unfortunately, working a flat piece of metal, coated with WD-40, messed up the day, but the Feb 2007 was visible. So my bike is really 1 year old!! Well, at least the handle bars are!
The trickiest part of the whole job, was removing the throttle cables and then re-connecting them on the new ISO grip. It helps to have a second person to help with this part of the job.
But the new grips look great. I'm going to have to play with the Throttle Boss position, but I'm pretty pleased with setup overall.
Thanks for the input!
