I seen spray paint sprayed into the grip used the other day???? never used it but i supose it would work. I use shoe goo and tie wire

Bike shops sell grip glue not those thieving pricks at westerns but Suttos or the likes. I use it or spray paint grip glue is better and the way to remove it is you warm the grip with a heat gun or hair dryer. Don’t use the glue Suzuki fit their grips on the DRs with but it’s wicked stuff (don’t think you can buy it anyway :laugh: )
Petrol is popular but I have experienced the rubber swelling. Always wire if you ride in the rain or mud

I would say don’t glue them, just wire them.
That’s all I do, never had a problem.

I use spray paint. A bit on the bars and a bit in the grip and slide on then tie wire as well. Haven’t had one move yet and I hang on to the bike pretty well. :laugh:

Absolutely Mal! That is the best shit! I usually am flapping of the back like a flag in the wind and that’s all I use. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I use petrol. Just a teaspoon in and swill it around and tip it out then slide it on. Never had a problem.

Thanks guys,
Will try the spray on stuff and see how that goes…i have always just tie wired them on but i want something a little extra for those extreme moments lol :woohoo:

Hair spray and tie wire

Go to woolies and get the super heavy duty extra strong type that if used on the old beahive hair dos would act as a hard hat if a steel beam landed on it.

After all, hair spray is just and adhesive

Spray on bar, spray inside grip, slips on easy

Same here, but I do also use grip wire. It often helps to wrap a layer of insulation tape on the bars before putting the grips on – better for removal.

Petrol and tie wire. Just cut them off, why would you do anything else?

i used to use the Scott grip glue (rubbery stuff like contact adhesive) but found once it got wet, it let go.

now i have some Pro taper stuff (much more like supa glue) and it works great.

we have had our wettest winter in years and they are still on as tight as a nuns nasty

Yep I have found contaminated bar ends to make it hard for the grip to stay put. I have been known to wrap fresh duct tape around the bar and then use the paint/petrol/wire tricks. I’ve seen someone on the trails scrape the glue off duct tape with some petrol and appy that to the bars before sliding the grips back on…. wow.
