[QUOTE="KDXNick, post: 744704, member: 35873"] Dirt Rider magazine has suggested not to use hair spray, spraypaint, or contact glue several times in their Tech Tips throughout the past 8 years or so. These adhesives tend to deteriorate with moisture. If you run brushguards, you subject your grips to debris and moisture each time you lay it down. A friend of mine has tried all three: hairspray, spraypaint, and contact glue (the kind that you spray on the ceiling of your car when the cloth starts to come off). Hairspray was the least effective and contact glue was the most; none held over a weekend of trail riding in wet conditions. I have found that grip glue works the best. I use Honda grip glue, simply b/c that is what my dealer stocks, but any grip glue should work. I install my new grips with the glue, then let them set for about 24hrs. After that, I tie each grip with safety wire at both ends and in the middle. Try to keep the knots where they wouln't come in contact with your glove (I file down the sharp edges just in case). Since I have used this technique, my grip glue has outlasted the life of every set of grips that I had on my bike. -Nick [/QUOTE]
