Thanks for your PM, here is a pic of the grip

I tried a new (to me) method that has worked very well, Just soak the grip in a container of very hot tap water for about 5 minutes. By then it has softened, and the water has crept in to act as a lube. The grips twist right off! I've been doing this with a bunch of bars that have been sitting in a garage for 20+ years and have had no problems. Worked for me, and is a lot easier than other methods I have tried. It's worked on 1960s plasticy grips and 1930s rubber grips.

By golly ...

I am going to try this with my pre ww2 Shelby SafeTBike!
The rubber is dry and hardened

Compressed air,best way hands down.Does ZERO DAMAGE and the grips pop off in seconds

you can also try crescent wrench running along the bars while pushing and twisting gently...if you get a little pocket of air...sometimes flies of the bar end....been doing that for years
