Grip Adhesive Advice

[EasTexRIII]

When I glue a woman's eyelashes, it's with an all natural adhesive. But they always seem to wash it off before it dries.

Cheap bastid, that's not what she meant when she said "jewelry"

Well Kuryakyn told be me to buy a new one...so they can go f*** themselves. Not sure how enthusiastic I'll be to purchase anything from them in the future.

@Mittzy @HansO Would either of your solutions have any concerns about cold weather (like close to or just below freezing)?

I was riding into to work this morning and noticed my throttle response was a bit wonky. Turns out my Kuryakyn ISO grip had come loose from the internal cylinder (this was the set that came with the internal cylinder attached from the factory, not my reusing the original). I was able to remove it real quick and get into work safely. I was wondering if any of you had any advise on what adhesive I should use to repair the grip?

You could use my old trick I used when I was a kid.....wrap a single layer wrap of "friction" tape on the tube, put a little gasoline on the surface of the tape and slide the grip on over the slimy tape. When it dries your stuck. If it's really loose you might have to do a double layer wrap.

No I would not think so as the sikaflex ( polyurethane is also the stuff used to glue windshields in cars strong and flexible

Appreciate the help!

One last question. How to clean tube and grip? I was just going to get some rubbing alcohol and a steel brush. Is there something else I should use?

I kept the factory installed grips, they work great.

Of course if you have large hands, you need likewise large grips!
