Any suggestions on how to secure a new set of grips. I got a twist throttle and it seems that the Scott grips seem to want to slide some. Would silicone work good to stop the slip?

 

the thing with grips is it just needs time. Time is the key element. I paint mine handlebars (where the grips are to go) and slide them on, wait about 3 days, no touching!! (i know its hard) and hopefully it will work.

 

I thought the exact same thing. Then I read the package... "Always use Scott Grip Stick when installing grips. Many types of adhesives, Paint, Petroleum Products, Contact Cleaners and Solvents may not be effective and can destroy grips" So I thought I better ask a couple people before I go painting or siliconing them on.

 

The best way to secure grips is to use 3M weatherstrip adhesive. It is a yellow glue-like material and lets the grips slide on real easy until it sets up. You can get a tube at your local auto parts store and it will keep them in place until you cut them off. I have used this on many pairs and have never had one loosen up yet! Be sure to apply the glue to the twist throttle sleeve only and not the grip itself because you do not want the end of the sleeve to accumulate glue as you slide the grip on. It could possibly cause your throttle to bind. Also another grip trick is to put a nickel in the end of each grip. This keeps the bars from cutting the end of the grip. Follow these steps and you will have good luck with your new grips.

 

I wrap electrical tape around mine, then put a small amount of gas in the grip, slide it right on. Then, there is some kind of reaction with the tape and gas, which causes the grips to stick. Good Luck. I have also found that Oury brand grips are the best made.

 

OK. Bought some Craft Glue made by Elmers. Couple bucks. comes in a spray can (like paint) sprays like paint. Sprayed it on, grips on, let it dry overnight. It is on there as hard as a rock.

 

Been there done that.. The best thing I have found is the glue that they put on jet skis and seadoos. I dont remember the name of it, but all the dealers out here have it. or try dennis kirk. it comes in a little plastic bottle (less than an ounce) slime the bars and slide on the grips. I need to cut the grips off to replace them. good luck

 

i have always just sprayed hair spray on the handle bars and inside the grips. it lubes it as it goes on and then it dries hard as a rock works great
