Title: Pointers for replacing grips Post by NorCalRider on 02/13/13 at 16:52:03 I am planning to replace my stock grips with the ISO ones. Will appreciate any tips or gotchas I should keep in mind. Also, what type of glue is used on the handlebar to keep the grips in place? Thanks. |

They do sell grip glue...pfft!.. any old glue will do, except wood glue..... |
Title: Re: Pointers for replacing grips Post by 12Bravo on 02/13/13 at 19:08:52 If you are talking about the kuryakyn iso grips, DON"T use the glue they provide. It sets up way too fast to get the throttle side on all the way. I will put a single wrap of electrical tape on the clutch side and the throttle side is usually snug enough. I have used good ol hair spray to hold iso grips on with out any problems. |
