Taking off grips is quite easy. just take off the bar ends..which can be be a royal pain in the arse, since they are generally put on w/ locktight, if they are stock.. then just slide them off. Depending on how long your current grips have been on, you may need to loosen them a bit by take a flat head screwdriver and pushing it thru the open end of the grip, and moving it around the inside just to break the seal. Becareful not to poke and tear ur current grips in case you want to use them again. Then just slide the new grips on... alittle hairspray or hair gel works wonders for installing them, and makes the job go ALOT easier, IMO. The throttle grip is alittle more tricky only because you have to work the grip on, over the throttle, but its not hard, just take your time and work it slowly.
Piece of cake

Got a compressor? Shoot some air in there right where the grip meets the bar and pull a little as you do it. The old grip will puff up and ride on the air and slide right off, reverse to install. No muss, no fuss and no wife complaining about you using her hairspray in the garage

be sure to clean that gunk off your bar when you take off the old grip, so ur new grip has a fresh surface to adhere too
