Hey Guys

Im going to replace my bent handelbars tomorrow and need a little advice on what to use to hold my new grips on. When i bought the grips, the dealer didnt have any real grip glue but he said i could just spray the inside of the grips with spray paint before i put them on.
Anybody ever try that?

I would just use silicon RTV but I hope to get a little ridding in tomorrow so I would like something that drys fast.

Any suggestion?

Thanks
Andy

 

I've always had good luck with 3M weatherstrip adhesive.

 

Thats a good idea Kevin!! Plus I could get that Home Depot early in the morning.

Thanks

paint or super glue is ok. I prefer to wire my grips.

 

The fast cure version of JB weld works exellent, it cures in an hour, and those grips will not slip.

 

It won't help you this morning, but i just learned this trick. wrap the bar end 2-3 times in regular masking tape, fill the grip with gas for 60 seconds or so, pour out gas and install grip. Takes a couple hours to set, but hasn't slipped yet. We'll see howthis works when it's wet out.

 

renthal grip glue but it is the same thing as 3m weatherstrip glue

 

Sounds silly, but I use my wifes hair spray. Dries like cement!

 

If you are putting on non heated grips I use 5min. epoxy and if you have heated grips you have to use the slow set epoxy or when the grips get hot the glue will not hold. I found the slow set at Ace hardware.

 

Thanks guys for all the good replys. I think Im going to try spray paint sinse I have some in the garage. If that doesnt work, I'll probley go with the weather strip stuff.

Thanks Again
Andy
