as above ,any body rec a good one??iv used super glue and theyr solid until i put the grips onto heat and then the glue goes all soft (oerr) and i could/can pull them off the bars .do i have to use a '2 part 'glue ?some sort of epoxy maybe ,or plain old evo-stick.i think itll have to be heat -resistant ,its worse on the throttle side (plastic tube on metal)so much so that when bikes running i can rotate grip without the bike revving .anybody done this ?,any tips folks

Try Renthal Grip Glue, Might work. Worth a try though and its not too expensive.

What ever glue you use, be sure that it wont melt the grips. Talking from experience here :oops:

Hello Jim

Loctite495 Instant Adhesive , appropriated out the work.
Was having the same problem, diagnosed after SV not going past 87mph then later 103 coming down the motorway from cupar! :lol: Wires fouling the throttle cables.Doh!
That glue did the trick . They are solid after 2 months constant use.

Come on then - make up your mind big fella!

If there's a gem of info in there, are you going to share it with us. My comments by PM were purely speculative and not founded on experience.
