Two tips for getting your handgrips off.
1. Use an air nozzle and a screw driver. Wedge up on the lip of the handgrip with the screwdriver use the nozzle to blow the hand grip off, and
2. Find an open end wrench just big enough to fit over the handle bar. Place the wrench on the handlebar in front of the hand grip, and give it a wack with a rubber mallet. The shock of the wrench hitting the hand grip causes it to balloon up, and usually two or so smacks, the grip flies right off.
