I usually just go on eBay or amazon and look for grips for bicycles with 7/8" bars. The throttle side is a little larger, but the soft rubber grips that I buy work fine.

Wd40 will lube the old ones off. If you can pull up a corner, spray under it, then start working it. Thats how golf grips come off

7/8" is the ID or 22.2mm. Don't buy Harley grips. HD grips are usually different, because they include the throttle section where the cable(s) mount. Just get standard bicycle or motorcycle/scooter grips. Bike grips are the same size inside. Moto grips should be larger on one side to accommodate the throttle. That means it will be quite snug on the throttle side with bike grips, but they've always worked for me. Example of the stuff I usually get : amzn.to/2nmGIWbCut through ones I don't care about with a razor, if they're soft enough and don't cut through the throttle or anything else below the grips. Get the WD40 nozzle under the grip somehow and spray a little in to let it come off easy. Clean the bars after. Twist and pull. You can try blasting compressed air under the grip to help them come off. To reinstall, something alcohol based works if you need a lubricant (rubbing alcohol or window cleaner). That way it will evaporate away and allow the grips to stay in place. Some use glue for their grips, which may also act as a lubricant for install. I've only used a small amount of glue when I've had grips that spin even after any lube has dried.

I'll post pictures of mine that are in there now and I don't have to get a special one with my throttle? Like with a thing that holds the cable? Or is the thing the cable is attached too already apart of the bike? And or hand grip

Also, regular hair spray work well for installation.
