Glues , chemicals , molasses. Tell all what works and what doesn’t. Nothing worse than landing a good jump and on impact your grip shoots of the bars like a nerf missle ! Yeah your gonna leave a mark !

Throttle tubed unaffected by it but a brake cleaner started to react with the rubber and I stuck it on. We will see if it sticks.

Re: Grip glue Reply #4 - 03/16/23 at 01:28:43 I don't know what percentage of a second it is, but the amount of time between the Grip coming off the handlebar and realizing you are far enough into the crash that you won't recover it is just about how long it takes to say Dafuq???

I used to use grip glue - just the little tube you can buy at the motorcycle shop. It is tedious to use.

However - I found that for most grips you spray the handlebar and inside the grip with the thin WD40 and then easily shove the grip on. Then in about 2 days the grip is stuck on tight. When the WD40 gets absorbed into the rubber (or evaporates)...the grip is stuck on tight. Removal just requires you to shove a small Phillips screw driver or thin punch along the inside of the grip and spray a bit more WD40 in there to loosen it up.

I don't think I would try the WD40 method on foam grips....just the rubber ones.

Someday I will be old......But not today!
