Heated grips - what glue?

[james1988]

Hello,

This may be a really stupid question however, what glue would you recommend for use with heated grips? My other half bought me a pair of the Dayton grips for Christmas and I intend on fitting them today.

I was thinking of using Araldite as it's ridiculously strong or is there a specific type of glue out there that will allow you to remove the grip without to much fuss but is strong enough for normal day to day use? I'm more than likely over thinking this...

Does it not come with glue? Most kits that I know of do with the glue acting as lube to get the things on with.

Unfortunately not. It suggests something like Araldite on the back of the packaging as it reads "Must use an exclusive glue for grips or a glue of mixing two chemicals when inserted to a handle bar".

I was suggested Evostik impact adhesive, worked for my normal grips too so I dont see why it work wont for heated?

I'm happy leaving them on there and not taking them off. If I ever sell the bike, I'll sell them with it.

Hobgoblin, I'll have a look in to that. Cheers.

impact adhesive it is then

Hi

Most sets I have seen have just come with a tube of a cheap superglue. And I have used superglue on them a fair few times with no problems (beyond needing to be quick to put them on - having them stuck on half way along the bars is a tad inconvenient)

All the best

Firstly This is not a joke. someone told me to use a dab fairy liquid, not a lot at all just a dab enough to smear over the grip area, the fairy dries over night to a tacky substance which grips solid however quite easy to remove the grips by sliding a flat screwdriver around.

This was suggested when it took a couple of hours to remove my last ones when they stopped working, try it and see..........you can always remove it easy and glue it within an inch of its life if you're not happy

IPA (alcohol). Cleans old crap, acts as a lub and evaporates leaving high friction bond.

Thanks all, I'll give the hairspray a go first.

Spiral wrap the handlebar with double sided tape and remove the backing.

'Swish' the inside of the grip with petrol and quickly push onto the bar. - Petrol evaporates quite quickly leaving them well and truly stuck.

If you ever need to get them off inject petrol with a syringe between grip and bar and pull off.

Renthal do sell the glue for a couple of £, i had shit with my heated grips so used that. Just make sure you put the stuff on and leave it set for a day to make sure the grips dont slip.

Honda do a special grip glue, I got a tube from David Silver Spares.

Can you use Vodka to clean and create an adhesive when replacing the grips?

I bought my R&G heated grips off ebay and they came with a tube of this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-handle-bar-grip-glue-road-race-grips-adhesive-ideal-Ducati-or-Aprilia-/150874684073?lgeo=1&clk_rvr_id=434170914587&vectorid=229508

Works great on mine.

I've always used hair spray ands never suffered with grip slippage - Because my bike's worth it!

[RodRides]

It is important to wire your heated grip from an ignition source and not direct to the battery, here is how to remove & install grips and wire.
