Tired of the SHIT grip glue?

Post by NightBiker07 »

Guy that owns the MX campground I visit often swears by using Enamel-based spray paint as the adhesive. I would recommend using a clear so it doesnt show all over, but I tried it and so far it has a solid hold. He said he has tried everything the market has to offer, and this outperforms by far from what he was saying, and so far, I am a believer.

So, if you are tired of crappy grip glues, give the clear enamel-based spraypaint a try. (Rust-Oleum). Allow for overnight drying for best adhesion.

I use black spray paint to glue my grips on, even on my CBR1000.....works great !!! Before I tried it I checked a couple of dirt and street bike forums and found that a lot of riders use it. Ill never use anything else.

Yeah but it gumms up the internals after a while. Scotch guard works much better! :P

Haven't tried propane - but I did do oxy-acetylene...with disastrous results. Boom - no more potato gun - no I wasn't holding it.

I'd done that, wrapped that in chickenwire and duct tape to secure the shrapnel. Later we used 3"hydraulic ram cylinders :wink:

metered propane and air under pressure, kinda like boost, this one i never went over 20 psi boost cause its plastic and handheld, chamber pressures were already over 300psi :shock:

i always wanted to make one out of steel and run real high pressure, but i never got around to it

heres what a 1" long piece of carrot shot out of a 1" barrel can do to a 1" piece of mdf, i never measured but i suspect it was going supersonic

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.
