Sticking Grips on
What do folks use to stick the left hand grip on with? I'd never thought about it until i started building my front end up.

Re: Sticking Grips on
I've always just used superglue for my Hotgrips but they free off occasionally (not fun on the M1 during rush hour
 ) Always wondered if there was a higher temperature alternative? |

Hairspray.
No...seriously, hairspray. Spray on the inside of the grip, helps it slide on then sets hard enough to stop the grip twisting. Used it when I put my Symtec grip heaters on and also used it recently when I renewed my lhs grip. |

araldite. Stays liquid-ish for ages so plenty of time to mess about, then leave overnight until its dry. Just hope you never have to take the grips off again

Re: Sticking Grips on
I used a spray called GT85 on my pushbikes. I was a bit paranoid about using that on my motorbike though.
Hairspray it is then!! |

Re: Sticking Grips on
grip glue is evostick contact adhesive.... spread it thinly on the bar and inside the grip let dry, squeeze on and heat up with hair drier...
