Richard Cheese Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I have a grip on my left handle bar that keeps on slipping off. I have gone through 2 tubes of grip glue, and it doesn't hold right now, the grip is just on the bar, with no tape or anything else between the grip and the bar. got any suggestions??? Quote
dunefreak Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Get a new set of grips and don't use anything putting them on other than compressed air. I have found that putting them on dry works the best. OR You can try saftey wire Quote

sanddunesaddict Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Thin wire you use to tie items together,on a grip you wrap it around the grip,twist it tight and snip it off. Holds the grip on. :dance: Quote

SandBox_Kid Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 They even have special pliers..... We used to do this stuff in the Air Force on most equipment. Click here. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I have had good luck w/ the dry method.. as well as the grip it grip glue.. not the little tube thingys.. the more of a liquid glue like hobbiest's use for holding planes together... Stuff holds great.. just gotta be very very very quick with it... sets up stupid fast! Quote
Duneraider Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 3m makes the same adhesive they use for post-it notes in a can. Works great. Put your thumb over the opposite end of the handelbars, then use compressed air in the grip and slide it on. Also, make sure it's not a twist throttle grip (larger inside dia) accidently used on the non-twist throttle side of the handlebars. Quote
Kens Colors Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I've got those really thick cushy (old man) grips on my tank and I tried the hairspray thing didn't work quite right and some one told me spray paint, I gave a couple of shots of flat black (figured if any leaks out it won't show) and GREAT results havent moved since!!!

1bad4fiddy Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 spary the inside of the grip with carb cleaner , just a lil bit and it will start to melt the grip slide it on and let it dry it works great Quote
80grit Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I clean the handle bar with rubbing alcohol first then spray carb cleaner into the grip and slide it on. Quote

Richard Cheese Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) thanks for all the replies people. it is nice to have a group of people so helpful. I went with ken's colors idea....the spray paint, as I just happened to have flat black that I use for my wrought iron gate around my pool. I was surprised the i didnt have any "safety wire" laying around the house anyhow, it worked great, and is not slipping off any more. thanks again people!!!you little effen biotches Edited January 23, 2007 by RICHARDCHEESE Quote

YamaPimp Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I have a grip on my left handle bar that keeps on slipping off. I have gone through 2 tubes of grip glue, and it doesn't hold right now, the grip is just on the bar, with no tape or anything else between the grip and the bar. got any suggestions??? Add safety wire. The reason they come off is because you most likely used soap to remove and install the new ones , big race mistake 101. Good luck Quote
