Pull the boot all the way back, there you will find a rivet holding the plastic handle in place. Drill it out, pull it off. I would suggest finding a replacement, like the one from KKM before hand.
If not, the metal handle that is exposed once you remove the plastic cover will tend to pinch the HELL out of you hand when you have to use it. (yes, that is the voice of experance talking)
Street Concepts has the KKM handle listed Here (http://www.kustomz.com/contour1.html)

Cheers for the advice :) Very helpful indeed...I'm going for the MOMO handles to match my shifter tho, I'll do some research to see if it will fit :)

I read on another post that they will not fit. the MOMO handle is the same size all the way down. Our brake handle is taped at the top and widens out towards the bottom. the MOMO handle won't fit down far enough to cover the handle. The only thing I've found that fit was the KKM.
Here's the post from Gunmetal:

Yeah, it won't fit. If you feel adventurous you could heat and bend the metal of the handle, but I don't recommend it.
It'll might fit if you chop up the bottom of the Momo handle, but I'm not sure about that. I haven't really had much time to look at other ways of trying to put the handle on, maybe this weekend...
