Dang ... just checked, I'm out of grip glue, any other stuff we can use like contact glue ?

Might try something tacky but non-permanent. Like rubber cement or silicone?

I used to use the stuff sold as 'grip glue' & actually didn't find it very good. Someone recommended hairspray to me ...I was dubious, but trust me, it works!
Spray copious amounts on the handlebar & on the inside of the grip, this acts as a lubricant to get the grip on, then as the hairspray evaporates it leaves behind a sort of lacquer which sticks the grip fast I used it to secure the Renthal grips on my 13 some years back & they won't budge

Phil me mate, thanks, I had never heard about hair spray, great idea, i'll go get some and give it a go, that's what I love about swapping ideas, you learn something that you can tell others about, the major problem with my grips is that I steer a lot because of the sidecar, so I need something that will hold, thanks again, cheers Pete.

I've heard of using hairspray before but hadn't given it much thought till now. I'll have to try it myself lol!

Because I switch my bike between A2 and B2 from time to time I have to get the grips off so I can get the left hand switch gear off when I swap handlebars.

I've been trying to find some black CNC ally ones with rubber grip inserts that are the correct length but don't look like they belong on a hog. In other words not too custom. Most I've found are too short.

Anybody seen any?

Place here in OZ, seen these on the site, might be what your looking for ???
