Gazlay43 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 thanks for all the replies people. it is nice to have a group of people so helpful. I went with ken's colors idea....the spray paint, as I just happened to have flat black that I use for my wrought iron gate around my pool. I was surprised the i didnt have any "safety wire" laying around the house anyhow, it worked great, and is not slipping off any more. thanks again people!!!you little effen biotches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdave Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 wow. i didnt know there were so many ways to do something simple. i always have done the compressed air thing with a dry grip only because i golf and i saw a guy put club grips on like that.

HORNMAN Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hair spray and safety wire has been working for me 18 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scadigan Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 What you can do is put electrical tape around the handlebar then put some gas inside of the grip slide the grip on and it wont come off. The only problem is when you need to get the grip off your gonna have to cut it lol but this does work the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it done with electrical tape.....I think you're thinking of friction tape, which is usually a black cloth type of tape that looks like electrical tape. Put a spiral wrap of it around the bar, hit it with some contact cleaner (only a little, but I guess gas would work too) which softens the glue in the tape, and slip the grip on. Safety wire it and you're done. It's probably the most common method of the factory mx/sx mechanics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
