grips
i found a pair of grips i wanna put on the bike,my experience with grip glue is not a good one i followed the directions i clean the old glue off,apply the glue evenlly,slip on the grip and let the glue cure, but eventually the throttle grip does not stay and eventually slips off.and then im back to step one.what glue are you using besides the glue you get from the bike shops?or what am i doin wrong?i know its not rocket science but the glue im using from the tube sux

I have never used "grip glue" and have never had a problem with grips coming off. The housing that has your switches should capture the grip and jold them in position.

Only glued the clutch side on mine too. I used Gorrilla Glue, hasn't come off. Make sure you do the prep correctly. I used a piece of emery cloth to clean the bar before putting the the grip on. You could also use some acetone after sanding to make sure it's clean, that will help for sure. I sanded and wiped down with acetone when preping the tub of my Jeep, good prep is the key.
