    New grips and throttle came today! +1. Looking to put on my stock bars and replace the dirt bike bars on the bike which I don't like the way it rides or looks... However, the left side screws are not wanting to come out! Tried some WD-40 on them but I think something more powerful is gonna be needed. Going to drag out the drill out with a phillips bit as well maybe a little more torque will help....

    Pb Blaster is better than WD40 by a mile. Also, I use an impact driver to remove stubborn screws.

    Kroil http://www.kanolabs.com/google/ works when even PB Blaster won't. And I used to swear by PB Blaster.

    Invest in a hand-held impact driver. You're gonna need it for lots of stuff.

    I got the screw out and the stock bars are on. A little ride to adjust the bars and mirrors to the best position for me.
