Pointers for replacing grips (Read 72 times)

NorCalRider YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 47 SF, California Gender:	Pointers for replacing grips 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.....

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.
