Ive got 500mm blunt stripper bars and propalm lock on grips. apparently they just slide on and then you tighten the ring at the end but they wont slide on to my bars. please gimme some help :/

 

[michaelchavez]

run some water on your bars, and keep twisting your grips on until theyre completely on

but the ring keeps scratching the paint of my handlebars off while im trying to push them on :/

 

[Stackies]

Face palm, Your grips are gonna cover the paint anyway..

[btyczki21]

well the grip is gonna cover the scratches once its on all the way haha and parts r gonna scratch eventually unless this is a show scooter

EDIT: good job stackies! i culdnt even finish typing b4 u told him wat i was going to say

 

[E1ementz]

KY jelly those sucka's upp!

 

[Rob.]

tap them on with a hammer if possible
fuck the paint, it'll be covered.

Spray paint the inside of the grips. they will go on with some effort and the paint will dry them on there.

what a shit idea.

 

[Chase Marsh.]

It works perfect, and i meant clear coat.

 

[Jon.]

Awful awful idea. If anything use hairspray. Goes on wet. Dries and turns sticky. Sounds like something else...

 

[Drew Kelly]

^ yeah it sounds a lot like adhesive

 

[parrish]

yeah use hairspray, thats your best bet

 

[btyczki21]

Hairspray actually works reallllllllllllllllly well

This works extremely well! Ive been doind this evertie i change my grips. But with lock-ons thats not gonna do anything! just tap em on with a rubber mallet, Or sand the part that your grips cover, or buy non lock on grips

 

[humpurple kushiones]

yea paint works really well if you never want to take your grips off.

 

[Derek Seay]

flathead screwdriver and hot water takes em off in seconds
