What do you use to glue the left grip on to your bars? I would like it to be removable.

Wish the Grand Touring grips were still available.

How do you apply the hair spray. I tried it and it didn't work. :geek:

I have used petrol (gasoline) to fit grips. Get a rag nice and wet, wash the handlebar well, slop petrol around inside the grip, push it on and let it set. Depends on the grip material, of course. Test with a little petrol inside - if it softens the 'rubber' it'll stick well. To remove, cut the end off the grip (if applicable), push a screwdriver or similar between grip and bar, squirt in some WD40, squish it around and the grip will slip right off.

Easy way to remove a grip is with the air nozzle from a compressor.

I can't see a button to buy them.
