installing grips

[yb200]

what are some tricks to installing grips and keeping them from slipping or turning.....i have used grip glue and dont like it

 

[rideyamaha09]

When I installed my grips I put super glue on the bars and then used an air compressor to float the grips onto the bars. Glue is still holding strong and they've been through the whole summer of riding.

I believe the Maker of the Powerband has that covered as well , the " Gripstick " non stick grip stick . Amazing product , used by nearly everyone that knows about it .....

RTV Silicone works good , stays pliable , easy to slip the grip on , wait 24 hours , then they are solid , use the flowable silicone , its runnier , easier to work with

i never use glue or nothing and mine have never slipped. i usually spray a tiny bit of carb cleaner into the grip so it slides on easy, then it evapourates really fast so its dry.


WOOHOO 1000th post hahah

I have always used a bit of spray paint. Any kind that I happen to have around. Just a little squirt into the grips then slide them on. Good to go in about 20 minutes or so.
