Adhesives for grips

[Whosthedaddy]

What is used for sticking on new grips?

I gather that they're then cable tied into place to cure but what glue is used in the first place?

you can get grip glue, but al i usualy do is make sure the bars are free from grease etc then use petrol as a lubricant whilst pushing the new grips on.

when the petrol evaporates the grips should be solid.

Hairspray - but not a 49p special. Might as well use grease. Get a good quality max-hold-type hairspray.

Clean grip onto clean bar works for me.
Used both these ways:

White spirit on a rag then wash off with water. Dry it and push on the new grip.

Brake cleaner, allow to dry and push on the grip.

[edit] Do Honda and Kawasaki use different hairsprays during manufacture....Bet they do.

Hairspray for me - lubes them going on, sticks them in place when dry, job done.

[whitedevil]

Was gonna say hairspray too.

[Whosthedaddy]

Well extra firm hair spray has been applied and tied down so we shall see.

Thanks for the cheap idea.

Hairspray +1

[Beelzebob]

Hairspray DID NOT work for me.

Just fitted heated grips (excellent timing, now the sun's come out, of course) - tried using hairspray, some brand name maximum hold stuff in a green tin (Silvikrin perhaps?) but alas - left overnight to stick but they still spun like a bitch.

Got some wee one-shot tubes of superglue in the hoose so used one of them instead - sorted.

EvoStik or 3M 9009 double sided tape (or similar). Mind, you might need to cut the buggers off.
