Title says it, i just bought new moto bars, gunna buy new grips too, but what glue holds up to the heat of the heated handlebar grips?
I used premium spray contact and it works great.
Steps:
- Clean bars good where grips are to be installed
- Install cork wrap
- Install Heat elements
- Wrap the inside end twice around with electrical tape then spiral down to the end of the grips then at the end wrap twice around. When spiraling down leave about a tape width between the last pass.
- Using premium contact spray the entire inside of the grip well
(wear gloves and have a cloth to catch the spray adhesive that will ooze out of the end of the grip, this can be messy if not prepared, I had some acetone handy as well which assisted with the cleanup)
I installed them this way and they went on so easy. The grips were on high quite a bit and never had any issues.
i use a grip glue i got from the yamaha dealer. it works really good. almost too good you have to get them on rather quickly.
Use the ones with glue already on them, then I use the air compressor to put air inside one while holding the other side shut. They expand out and slide on easy, dry and no mess
Yuuuup!X2 but don't use any glue. Just put them on with the air compressor and then you can take them off just as easy without risking cutting/damaging the heater element. I have had mine on for 3 seasons with no glue and never twisted a grip. Dry and air compressor is the only way to install them.
