Default RE: Kuryakyn grips to big!!??

Has anyone ever tried to use the grip-kits golf pros use to put grips onto clubs. Sometimes they double or triple wrap the tape around the shaft to accomodate a larger grip. A little solvent to temporarily wet the tape and allow the grip to slide on. After the solvent dries -- about 12 hours -- the grips should be on tight. Not so tight, however, that they would have to be dynamited off if you ever decide to change grips. I'm not sure what the solvent might do to the chrome, however.

Just a thought.

Put the same grips on my Ultra - used the small tube of glue included. No problems at all - left grip does not move a bit. No glue, just a little oil on the right side.

OK...
I let the Gorilla Glue set - it did expand!
It's ooozing out of the end of the grip Man I suck.

Anyhow, It's not that bad. The glue just chips right off, and the grip is finally on nice and tight...

ORIGINAL: Softtail Bob

The right side is not glued on at all because it has to spin for the throttle. It locks in place under the controls so the only way it should come off is if the control wa to come off. Now I've never put on any after market grips so there may be a chance that the Kuryakyn grips mount differently so if this is the case someone else chime in.
Harley grips have a piece that fits into the recess in the switch housing similiar to the throttle side where kuryakyn grips just butt up against the switch housing on the left side....

They told me that Kuryakyn grips are a little to big, and they don't fit as tight.
Thats bullshit as far as I'm concerned. I have ISO grips on my 05 FatBoy.
I followed the instructions and they are solid as a rock.

I put the ISO grips on my heritage last year. I haven't had a problem with them at all. they are great grips and would recomend them to anyone. I used the glue that came with the kit and followed the instructions. The right side goes on just like the stock Harley grips.
