Does anyone have spare heated grip glue?

[calum17]

Hi all.
i bought some of the adjustable oxford heated grips at the bike show and they didnt come with any glue. i've spoke to infinity about it and they are trying to sort it for me. but still nothing yet. i'ld like the glue my thursday really so i can sort my grips out and keep my hands warm.

does anyone have some spare glue i could have/buy to save me waiting for infinity to sort it?
i only need enough to fix the throttle grip cos the left grip is held in place by the bar end anyway.

thanks
calum

Superglue is all you need

oh right.
that will work ok then? i wasnt sure if it would affect the rubber in any way or if it would crack/break from heating up and cooling down a lot.

on another thing - does anyone know how much it is to buy? could phone the bike shop tomorrow - just wondering about a rough price?

The Oxford grips come with generic super glue anyway.

I bought some Oxford grips and in the box was a cheapo tube of superglue. It costs about 90p from Asda.

This should give you an idea about price.

thanks guys. i'll give the local bike shop a ring tomorrow and see if i can get some from there - or if normal glue will deffinatley work. if it's a similar price to the glue Jamie posted then i'll buy some. then i'll keep on to infinity to get me some more incase some else needs some or for when i get a ne bike, the heated grip can stay with me

One of my oxford grips became loose last week, i just got some superglue from tescos and job done.

I would NOT recommend using super glue.

I used specific Honda grip glue when I fitted mine. This is because it is special glue that you can 'unstick' by spraying isopropyl alchohol on it allowing you to remove or alter the position of the grips without damage and as soon as the alcohol evaporates it sticks again.

I'm sure that most people on here are now shouting 'BOLLOCKS' at their monitor, but when I fit grips that cost £230 (Honda's own) I'm not going to take risks with them.

Oh, it costs just under a fiver a tube which is really silly money, but if you PM me your name & address I'll post what's left to you as I don't expect to be fitting anymore grips for a while!

You can get isopropyl alchohol from Maplins for a couple of quid.

You paid £230 for heated grips which has 3 settings?

What makes them better than the oxford ones?

If they cost £230 I'd use the right glue jesus!

Arh I see, didn't think about them being bike specific. Well if you have the money why not hey?

Everything I tried - the glue that came with the oxford grips, superglue, no nails, even hairspray (I got that tip off here, but it didn't do the trick by any stretch of the imagination) all came unstuck, mostly after the grips had been on and the glue heated up, sometimes by me just whacking the throttle to the stop. IN the end I chopped the wires to the throttle grip because it came unstuck too often and made it dangerous to ride with. Oh, and I whack the throttle open a pit gentler now. I've always been a bit ham fisted, mind

Hmm sorry about the double post - saw a typo, changed it and clicked 'submit' again, didn't expect that as it was taking ages to load up - oops.

[calum17]

thanks for the advice. i bought some honda grip glue today. i didnt put loads on, but think it was enough. will just have to hope it sticks ok for now and if it comes off then ill have to find some other way of attatching them. hopefully the glue will hold ok though.

[Polarbear]

That's the same stuff I used - worked fine for me
