Gogz- Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Throttle grip is well annoying. How are you putting them on? I normally use gt85 to remove and to put them back on my self. I suggest is take them off wash them and your bar off with water, dry them off as much as possible and force them back on.I hope I have helped.

Jordan GU Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Put a bit of super glue inside the grip but when you need to get them off, you have to cut them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headley Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Get some insulation tape and put a load round the end of the grip nearest the center of the bars. This will mean the rest of the grip will slowly twist until it can go no further and stop it from slipping when wet. It works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigamac Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 HAIRSPRAY does it. Spray some on the inside of the grip. A little on the handle. Slides on easy. Leave overnight and its brilliant grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave overnight and its brilliant grip. Works a treat, as does spray mount glue (the sort of stuff you'd use in art for mounting a piece of paper onto a sheet of card, that sort of thing).

Jitters Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi,Hairpsray works right nice...but 3M Super77 spray adhesive is the bomb if you want to end slippy grips FOREVER. I use it on the mod cause I go through grips like mad on that bike. But you have to act quickly when installing new grips or it's all over. Really. Removal requires destruction of the grips.They make a Super92, but I think that I'd somehow accidentally stick myself all face down to the garage floor permanantly with that stuff. That would be a sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Fisher Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Double sided sticky tape ? , your grips will never move again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazor Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've always used the hairspray trick works realy good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fwad Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Take your grips off, give them a clean and spray some fast drying solvent inside your grips and on the handlebars. Put your grips on, then leave them for 5-10 minutes to dry. It works everytime for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
