The glue on my left ISO grip broke free as well. Never liked those grips anyways so they'll be in the round filing cabinet soon.

I just ordered some Avon ones last month and on the back of the package it said to use gorilla glue.

I had a left grip slide as well.There are some models of Kuryshlockin grips that don't have the extra lip at the end that slips under the control housing.That is what I was using at the time and mine came loose.Fortunatelly it didn't just slip off.it started rolling and I was able to shut er down and pull the POS off.I think it was the run of glue at the time because I now have 2 other sets on 2 different bikes with no glue failures!

The funny part is they sell replacement clips so there must be a common issue. I won't be buying Kury anymore either. Good thing we ride Harley's and there's tons of aftermarket options.
Broke the clip on one of the 5000 series running lights..... $40 to replace 2. I love the product but agree I feel like I got ripped off. I did put LED bulbs in the fixture so hopefully will never have to touch them again....

For those of you tooting the installation problem horn, there is a reason I took a picture of the glue. If by installation problem you mean following directions and using their glue, you would be correct.

I apologize if anyone was under the impression they came off, they did not. They spun while turning and coming off the clutch on my apes...while riding in Rome, Italy-think Italian traffic. Near death experience in itself lol.

I repaired them with gorilla glue and they won't budge...proving all along it was the glue. Lesson learned. Gorilla glue.

So instead I'll just comment, Good job keeping your wife away from Cheeseburgers (cause... nice figure) and that's a cute dog.
Lol that made me chuckle.

And that's Jack my Italian westie. He rides on the back of the Harley.

I have those grips, and I love em. I also really OCD about gluing grips on properly (my old bike had the grips break loose from the throttle tube, was not good)

Bad deal indeed. Just fyi look at the Avons with the sleeve on the left side. They fit inside your switch housing and stay secure. Will not turn or slip off, and best of all no glue needed!
