Hi guys what would you recommend for spinning/slipping heated grips? Obviously only the throttle one is causing a problem at the moment. I want something fairly sturdy so it doesn't give out when I'm pinning it but also don't want anything too permanent in case for whatever reason in the future I need to remove them.

Got gorilla glue glue on standby. Recommended or no?

Evostick, Gorilla glue dries / sets hard .
cover bar end in evostick and push on grip while it's still moist.

Dont bother with super glue, water makes it break down and as it does to a hard layer heat expansion makes it crack off.

Impact cement or gorilla glue (its water activated so spray water on before putting the grip on) work fine.

The official recommendation is normally cyanoacrylate glue (aka superglue); I've never heard of it being a problem other than you have to get the grips to the right position PDQ before it sets and locks them in place for all time. I've heard that hairspray is supposed to work well though (especially if you want to retain the option of being able to remove/reposition the grips some day

I have only ever fitted handgrips (heated or otherwise) with hairspray. Never had a problem with them slipping. It will be into double figures of handgrips.

Degrease boththe inside of the grip and the bar with solvent, apply hairspray, slide grips on, wait an hour for the spray to set.

To get them off again, wiggle the straw off a WD40 can under them and squirt/wiggle until they are free.
