Brick Hand grip replacement
Bought new grips for my zx6r. Any advice as to changing them. Do the new ones need to be glued on or will just sliding them on dry be suffice. Thank you for any input.

RE: Hand grip replacement
dry is best. They will hold just fine. If you cant get them to go on, sometimes using a little bit of hair spray works great as it acts as a lubricant to get them on then dries as a glue to hold them. Again, try dry though. If you have access to an air compressor, a blast of air will make your life a lot easier in getting the old grips off an putting the new ones on.

Do the throttle side first so you can get it as good as you want then the other side to line it up

Just saw this. I used hairspray. Slides right on then locks in place. Oh well. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
