I've been having a ruff time putting on my new grips lately. Ive tried glue, hiarspray, soap and water and nothing has seemed to work. but a couple of minutes ago i was thinking up a way to put the grips on...then it dawned on me. i sanded down the handlebar a little so its ruff then cleaned the inside of the grip thoroughly and used an air compressor to get it on. no sliding at all! I highly reccomend trying this if you were stuck like me...sorry for the overly excited post but i had to let out my energy...

 

Tell me how to do it without taking off my bark buster hand protectors! (kidding).

 

I figured out the air compressor thing a long time ago...it blows up the grips to get em on pretty easy.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Been doing it for years. Just be careful you can blow those grips up like a balloon if your in a hurry.......thrust me.

 

iv used that many times, works wonderful

 

i was kinda talking about the sanding part, it makes it ruff so the grip wont slide...

 

The air thing works well for most grips. If you get the Cabela's heated ones it won't. After putting on several sets, I found the easiest way is to spray the bars with WD40 and tapping on the end of the grip with a hammer and block of wood.

 

well damn wheres my head..really wish i wouldve known the advice a few months back.
