pappy Posted April 19, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 19, 2009 I used the glue that came with the grips. I did use an old artists paint brush to make sure that the inside of the grip was well coated. Left things set and all was nice and tight.Grips look great and are very comfortable to ride with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted April 20, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 20, 2009 You can spray the handle bar with regular hair spray...coat it well. then spray some inside the grip and quickly slip it on... It will hold it well and it will be easy to remove (if you ever want to) by inserting a screw driver under the grip and spraying water between the grip and handle bar..the grip will then just turn right off.

CMIKE Posted April 20, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 20, 2009 In the motocross world we change grips almost weekly. We use gasoline, any color of spray paint, and some brands of contact cleaner will melt some grips to the bars (so becareful and don't melt them to much...but the best thing I have found is 3m weatherstip adhesive, either color (black or yellow. This is availible at most automotive stores. It is most of the time cheaper than Grip glue and works as good or better. Removal is done by compressed air or water like Eck said. The water method will get you wet if you don't watch out. We never tried hair spray...but I bet it works just like spray paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do, but it will come loose in a good rain storm. Nothing serious but just be aware that it will happen. Once it dries again it's solid.

Jethroish Posted April 20, 2009 Share #7 Posted April 20, 2009 If you are reinstalling the end weights, there is no need for glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted April 20, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 20, 2009 I have heard of people using golf grip tape before. Never tried it. My left side has come loose too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted April 20, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 20, 2009 I use a strip of contact cement and push the grip on and have never had a problem. It may be a little difficult to remove the grip, but when putting a new one on, I cut the old one off anyway. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
