1. We have 7/8 bars. Just find grips for that bar size and you should be good to go. I have always used razor blades to cut off the old grips. Hair spray works best for installed the new ones. Coat the inside of the new grip and the outside of the throttle tube and it will slide right on. Bar end weights are the same thing. But, IMHO, stock bar weights are pretty solid.

2. There are lots of bolt stripping kits available at your local home improvement store. If there is any bit of the screw exposed, you can also just grab it with a pair of vise grips and twist that sucker off.

3. Engine degreaser. Warm up the bike. Spray everything with degreaser, let it soak for 10 minutes and then spray it off with high pressure hose.

4. Brillo pad and wd-40.
