Stubborn grips

[Athame57]

I'm soon to change for the first time in eight years my handle bar grips. I remember the hell of getting them on then, anyone know an easy way?

If you're fitting the OEM ones like I stock, they should be pretty easy to fit on George.

Clean bar and throttle grip with Naptha (tin of lighter fluid) and let dry, then slosh a little inside grip and straight on with in one surprise movement 

Usually not bad like that, and don't slip afterward.

Damn, I'm too late for that Julie, unless things go pear shaped with the ones I've ordered.

I used Wendy's Hair spray to make sure they stay in place, particularly for the throttle side.

I used Meths to clean the bars / throttle tube.
