loose throttle grip

[derf]

I went to the store earlier today and on my way there I was accelerating at a brisk pace to merge with traffic on the highway. I grabbed a handful of throttle and nothing happened, the bike just fell flat on its face. Within moments I realized it was just a loose handgrip that was spinning around the plastic housing, not really a big deal, but annoying. I was able to use the throttle by squeezing it pretty hard.

Anyway I did a quick fix with a pair of zip ties on each end of the throttle grip just to hold it in place. I'm gonna buy a new set of grips, but is there any good way to keep them in place solid?

grip glue, but then its impossibly hard to get them off.

Hair spray works great. Just buy the cheapest stuff you can find. I have nearly an entire can left over from when I swapped out my bars almost two years ago. I fogged them good. Just ask Trip about taking them off :lol:

Personally I would use grip glue.

I've done the hairspray trick on every single pair of grips I've done... I guess it's the climate here in TX, but they all came off/come loose.

I did the hair spray thing at daves house a few weeks ago. Worked fine for a minute, then poof out of nowhere it broke free

must be cause they are old grips, or because you didnt let em set up overnight. You didnt get em on backwards by any chance did you?

I dont use glue or spray of any type and have never had a problem.

A little double-sided tape.

Grip Stik for the win!!

Honda grip glue. Honda grip glue and safety wire on race bikes cause some times you just don't have time at the track to let it dry.

I have always used hairspray. Works great. Get the cheap nasty shit though like aquanet or white rain and let them sit over night to dry

I hear Gorilla Glue is good shit.

Not really- just messy as all hell. There was a ton on my truck.

Scott's grip glue. Renthal makes an instant grip glue but I don't like it. It eats into the grip like superglue.

I use safety wire on mine. Stays in place and comes off easy when you need for them to.

Mine was doing that over the summer. So my husband decides to fix it at a gas station. He bought tape and was going to use that to secure it. Well he ended up pulling my heated grip ALL THE WAY off instead. Sigh. He did buy a new set and replace the one he broke at least..

I've heard of using spray paint, but what a mess. I've never used anything on my grips. The Grab-Ons on my Suzuki have to be over 25 years old.
