2020 RTL Is there a way to remove foam grips w/o ruining them?

[Escorial]

My bike came with the large foam grips, I would like to try the bike with out them.

Is there a way to get them off with out damaging them so I could reuse if I want?

In my experience, you can easily slide them off. I use gel type hand sanitizer. Now, that said, I also found them not to relax when removed and will be loose upon reinstall. Luckily, they're only about $15/pair. I get the longer ones, as they're generally cheaper and easily cut to length.

Another option are some Grip Buddies. They are removable. I had the Lites version for a Tiger 800. https://www.originalbeemerbuddies.com/home.html

A jet of Compressed air directed at the (tiny??) gap between the foam grips & the grips underneath will often help you to remove them.... :thumbup:

That said, the foam grips are the weaker stuff so it's always gonna be a bit of a pain to get them off in one useable piece, & no matter what you do, if they've been there a while, it's often impossible to do anything but damage them beyond future use on removal - which juuust happens to be the easiest & least frustrating way way to get them off, too! :rolleyes: Good thing that replacement foam grips are so cheap! ;)

If you need to order other stuff for your Spyder and its over $100.00, you get a free set of foam grips from SpyderPops.

Thanks all

If I were going to remove my foam grips I would shove a chopstick between the foam and rubber grip and wiggle it around the circumference and then just pull it off. I would not reuse the foam grip(s).

:agree: This, I have two sets and really like them a lot.

Start at the inside and roll them off.

Absolutely the best way to remove any hand grip foam or not.

I just ripped them off and tossed them, I did not realise that they were so thin. Much better w/o them, that is me..Thanks
