If you want to reuse your grips try a head gun to soften the grips to remove.
If not use a knife.

It made it easy to push the grips on and when it drys it glued the grips on the handle bar.

I used grip adhesive.

I prefer the stock grips, but they can be hard to find & expensive.
On my mountain bike (bicycle). I installed Oury grips similar to the ones at Z1Enterprises. the rubber is very soft & comfortable.

I use the Oury grips on my 750 and love them. They have just the right amount of cushion and feel. My bike isn't trying to mimic stock though. I'd get stock or replica if that's your goal.

I'm using a set of Biltwell's Recoils and I love em. Spray some WD-40 on the bars and in the grip. Don't get crazy with it. Slip them on and wipe off the excess WD-40. Your good to go!

I don't have a plan and I'm sticken' to it! '77 KZ 650 / 750 GPz custom project in progress

So these pair will fit for my left and right side?

These is the same grip ? ON Z1Enterprice $9.95 and on ourygrips.com they cost $20.00 ?? strange ?

Thank you.
