Multiple Part Removal/Change questions

[Kuntreeboy]

Alright I am sure I am just missing some of these but I gotta ask cause I want to put my new goodies on, Grips, Bar End Adapters and Bar end mirrors. First removing the hand guards? Peel them off? I know I should know this but Harley's were allot easier cause I did 10-12 pairs? Also the knobs on the end of the bars how do they come off, or are they part of the grips (That's what I ass-ume anyways). Next do I have to have a stand to do the rear brakes? And last but not least how did anyone who cut down their cowl? Just received an extra in the mail to cut on and I wanna make it good!Anything you learned doing it you wished you woulda known to start?[confused]

Stock plastic bar-ends- just grab with pliers and rock/pull them out. If you want to save them, use a rag or something in the jaws so that it won't gouge them. They are glued in.

Hand Guards? or grips?? Grips can be either cut off with a razor blade or use compressed air and gently loosen glue with a thin flat blade screw driver(s) at the same time (to save them).

Rear brakes can be done w/o a stand.
Cut the cowl.. no clue.

Awesome thanks boss. I got a set of aluminum and gnurled rubber grips from american sport bike do I glue them on, if so what kind of glue am I needing? thanks for the help.

I used hair spray on the last set I put on. Spray inside grip, spray the handlebar and shove it on while it's all still wet. I've never put anything but rubber grips on, including my HD so you might have to use a glue. I used Gorilla Snot (3M yellow adhesive) on all of the HD grips put on.
