Default Grip glue? What type

I ordered all the stuff for new Wo 16s, just thinking I did not order grip glue. Can I use something else beside that or do I wait and order some?
Anything I can but at wally world or auto zone?

get yourself a roll of black electrical tape and wrap the left handle bar where the grip goes over it twice. No need for glue.

Gorilla Glue will pretty much give you a permanent bond.....

Never put any glue or anything on my grips and haven't had a problem with them moving or anything since I installed them 10,000 miles ago

Used regular dish soap way back when. Dries crusty and removes easily with only water.

I bought some grips through ebay awhile back. The glue had dried up. I ended up using golf club grip tape. Works great & doesn't move at all. I may have to cut the grip off if I get ready to change.

Good luck..

+1 on that.....control pods clamp over front edge of grip to secure it. No problems.

+2 on that. Not sure what grips you are putting on but My Get-A-Grip grips take no glue either switch housing clamps over them.

If you are really worried about the grip moving, rough the chrome up with some 120 sandpaper, then use good old Super Glue. You will have a hellofa time if you ever need to get it back off tho.
