Throttle Grip Glue-What do you use?

[Tuccandler]

Need a little help. Today I was riding and my throttle grip pulled free of the inner tube. The tube is mounted to the switch housing as all grips are but I have custom after market chrome/rubber outside tubes. It looks like there is an area near the switch housing side of the inner tube that has a 1 inch patch of clear glue.
OK here is the question, what have you used for glue on yours?
I have read everything including gorilla glue but doubt that the MOCO uses it. :Shrug:

I have always gone old school - lacquer based hair spray. It is slick wet to make the grips easy to slip on, and dries sticky to keep the grips on. Works best with a lot of rubber in contact with the plastic throttle sleeve or the metal bar. I've seen spray glue used with good success, spray a little on the throttle sleeve and a good bit in the grip, slide on and let it dry. Kuryakyn has a glue for their Iso Grips that works well, but get it right the first time - it sets up almost instantly when the grip is put on.

Lightly spray the grip inside with a heavy duty hair spray. The old style. Be sure not to get too much inside as to get inside the TBW sleeve.

Thanks to all.

Looks like hair spray is the way I'll go.

If the hair spray doesn't do it for you, try some Grip-It Glue (about $8).
You can pick it up at any bike shop and some auto parts stores.
Not only good for grips, but works on rubber gaskets, grommets, even plastic parts. I keep it in the shop for small repair jobs.

What I like about it is that it gets tacky right away, so you don't have to hold or clamp the pieces for a long time for the glue to set. For example, gorilla glue takes a while to set up, so you have to keep pressure on the parts until it's cured.

Also, it is a strong but non-permanent bond (unlike Crazy Glue), so you can pry items apart at a later date if needed.

Thanks jaxbobg sounds like a very good backup for the plan.

I had mine come loose a week ago, tried rubber cement, it worked for a day-not a type-o, it didn't work. I talked to several people and all said the only thing to use was "Griplock" by Threebond, available at all H-D dealers. Tried it and is awesome.
