What grip glues work the best? I heard or some people using hairspray, spray paint. I have a hard time using the glues because it makes it really hard to get the grip on, especially the throttle side. Any options I can look at other than glue?
Thanks Little Jeff

Honda grip glue and safety wire. Works great and comes off easy when it's time to replace grips.

I buy Rubber cement at Wal-Mart in the automotive section. I glue and wire them. Works for me

I use Lepage's Flexible Plastic Glue. Five bucks for a lifetime supply.
Holds the grips great, but will release with a shot of contact cleaner.

I coat the inside of my grips with gas so that they slide on, and then they stick to the bars and dont come off. Just dont put your grips near a fire.

We just use 3 safety wires on each grip - no glue. Never had a grip come off. After using oldguy's and jp's fancy safety wire tools - we had to go get one, too. Helps get the wire nice and tight.

I use water with a little soap and a lot of elbow grease. Works for window tint and works for grips too!

I use Renthal Grip Glue.

I also like flushing 5 dollar bills down the toilet.

The 3m weatherstrip adhesive is good. I have never had an issue with it.

I use 3M weatherstrip adhesive as well. Never had a grip come loose. Also makes it real easy to install grips. Dries in about 10 minutes, so it's good for on-the-trail fixes. I've bailed out a few buds with this stuff.

I too used my wife's hairspray...until I got caught.

Did you know some of that Paul Mitchell crap sells for 15.00 per bottle?
