Need some grip on my left grip

[s0nia]

I ended up using grip glue from my local suzuki shop. Based on the fact that the grip slipped off with no effort at all and it seemed like the rubber was a bit streched to start with, so I thought best to make sure it was stuck there for sure as I wasn't taking any chances!

The reason I knew the grip was loose to begin with was from when greg (my best friend) put the bike on the centre stand, the grip flew off and the bike landed on my arm!

I've had grips that were a little too large for the bars before and they slipped like crazy, even with adhesive under them.

Apparently the criteria needs to include proper-size grips, as well as the method of attachment.

I think you're over thinking the problem, as many newbs tend to do (which is not a bad thing). Hairspray works fine, even liquid dish soap. I've used liquid soap for years. Just a dab will help the grip slide right on and when the soap dries it holds it firmly and yes I wash the bike and have ridden in the rain and they stay in place.

With good quality grips they are usually a tighter fit, are often difficult to get on but when in place won't move around so spend a buck or two more and get the good ones.

If you really are paranoid, you can get "grip glue" at most bike stores. A formulation designed for the job which, to me, seems suspiciously like rubber cement.

Good luck with it.

Hairspray!!!!!!!!!!
That's all I ever use. I've been using hairspray for about forty years now, I even use it to hold the grips on my tools (pliers, crimpers, cutters, etc.), never had an issue. Been really surprised as to how many people never knew about using hairspray.
