Grip Slip

#1
What's the best thing to use to affix the throttle grip to the throttle tube??? Mine will just slide off and on with surprising ease. I have all kinds of adhesives but I am curious what the "correct" stuff is to use. Left grip is tight.

Thanks,

Doug

Run down to you local Honda shop and get a tube of Pro Honda Handgrip Cement. You can also get it online. It's cheap, it's easy to use and it works great. I've used it for decades.

I always used rubbing alcohol. Saturate the grip in alcohol and slide it on wet. When the alcohol evaporates it leaves the grip tacky.

THATS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Hair spray :thumbsup:
My first thought was hair spray but the dang grip is just too loose on the throttle tube. What Tom posted is what I was hoping to find.

Hair Spray times two. :) Contact cement out of the jar also works. Or the right stuff Tom posted. :)
I don't own a drop of contact cement but it crossed my mind right after the hair spray. And I don't think my wife even owns any hair spray......

PAP that's a new one to me. Sounds like it would work if the grip was snug at least a little bit. I will store this tid bit away for future reference.

I've used trim adhesive spray a few times and it seemed to work ok.
This didn't even cross my mind but I do have it on the shelf. Even the Super trim adhesive that is made for vinyl tops.

A couple drops of super glue.
I follow your thinking but my experience with super glue has been that it gets hard and then can be brittle. If I want something to stay put with super glue I dust it with Baking Soda first. Google it. It works very good on rigid items.

I have had great results with Honda adhesives in the past so I am going to get the Honda Grip Adhesive.

This is such a giving community and I appreciate all of your suggestions.

Have a safe and Happy 4th!!!

This begs the question--what is the Honda grip glue?

Surely it's a common adhesive and not a proprietary concoction devised by Honda..?
