on my brand new bike (honda so it's red) the first thing i decided to go aftermarket with are the grips. so the ones on it now are brand new and stock. the last guy i saw doing this just cut his off with a knife and i really didn't wanna ruin my new grips so i'm glad i saw your video!

I just spray a healthy amount of starting fluid in the grip and slide it on.

@worldofwilfred no not at all thats just up to you if you get the right size grips you wont need no wire

@chairrretr all you do is put them over the grips, there is no tricks just maybe pull them open a little bit and slide them on. They should be a little snug. But there are not tricks just slide them on over the grip.

Could i use Epoxy to glue my grips on???

@rcfreak2493 I've never tried epoxy so I'm really not sure. I have used carb cleaner in the past that worked well on some brands of grips. I have also used spray paint (clear works best because if a little runs out on the grip you don't see it) which worked. Some folks use gas.

i was wondering, for anyone who can answer... do you always need safety wire?

@worldofwilfred
No, safety wire is not necessary but I prefer to use it to make extra sure the grips don't come off.

do you need to use grip glue, or will it hold fine with just the safety wire?

I always use grip glue since it's very important that the grip stays attached. In a bind you can use spray paint (spray it inside the grip only) and then safety wire them but I do prefer grip glue.
