Hairspray will get those grips on, and you don't have to wait........as a
matter of fact, you gotta get 'em on right away!!! The hairspary dries very
quickly. Apply it generously, to bar, and inside grip.

Try 409 or Greased Lightning to clean them...don't get any on your paint
tho'...G-L is not paint friendly. Brillo or scotch-brite pad may help
too.
 I use liquid soap to put grips on...can't ride for a couple of days, but
once it dries, they really stay put. Just a little dab 'l do ya.

I put a set of stock civilian bars back on my Ambo and in doing so
had
 to
take off the grips. They are in great shape except for the usual yellowing
of
the stock white ends. Does anyone have any tricks for getting this back to
almost white. WD40 almost did something, Simple Green worked a little,
Bleach
didn't do a thing, a Brillo pad worked a little more, but they still are a
wee bit dirty looking. Any ideas? Also what should I use to 'glue' them
back
 on? I have heard WD40, Hair Spray, contact cement etc, who had any good
tips?
Thanks one more time
Rich
