Changing Hand grips (don't know if this goes here)

So I just ordered some new hand grips for my 650R. Is there some kinda trick to changing these things out?

Then use hair spray to slip the new ones on which also helps glue them to the bar to prevent slippage

Changed em out this afternoon. I cut the old ones off and slid the new ones right on with a little air and water. Super easy. Wish I would have checked this forum earlier to see that tip about the hairspray.

I'd post pics but someone at work stole my camera... booo
