heated grip causing separation

Post by Greg S » Wed Jul 02, 2003 11:30 am

Or... Pro-gel grips getting baked off... So I was running my heated grip elements on high for about 20 minutes the other weekend and now noticed my throttle grip is coming loose (i.e. unglued). Has anyone else experienced this? I am using grip glue. -Greg

I am using grip glue. -Greg Hey Greg, It is my understanding that grip glue is only for regular grips. And when I got my "Hot Grips" it specifically insisted on 24hr. epoxy-------not quick or 5 minute. I have put on several sets using the 24 hr. stuff as suggested and never had a problem.

Did you safety wire the grips? I have under grip heaters installed with no glue, just the wire. I've had no slippage even in heavy rain, mud bogs, water holes ETC. Karl A14 on 7/2/03 5:41 PM, Mark Sampson at bigdogg@... wrote:

Use the Force Luke... If'n they got them, put them wire grooves to use. My 737's fit the throttle side perfect, but the clutch side seemed, well loose towards the end of the bar, so I used the 2 outer grooves and some safety wire applied with my spinner pliers whichamagiggy. Dooden A15 Green Ape

Have been reading about using safety wire to help secure grips, and am curious how ya'll position the twisted end to keep it from tearing up your hands/gloves? That's gotta hurt.

Leave a pigtail of about 3/8". Use a needlenose to bend the end so it digs into the grop, preferably down in the wire groove. Then It can't dig into your hand. It also helps to make the twist on the bottom of the grip, away from your hand.

Judson, That's what I thunked, but figured I'd ask anyway - JIC - others were wondering too. It's the Tech Ed in me. :-) Much thanks. Guy -------Original Message------- From: "Judson D.
