    Honda grip glue and safety wire. Found it worked and stuck with it. Cleans easily when replacing grips

    Ordered one of these and it came in today. This tool works great. If you have barkbusters and you don't have one of these, you need to get one.

    In follow up, I ended up brushing Goop on the handle bar and throttle tube and let it set up. Then I sloshed the inside of the grip with mineral spirits, and brushed the set up Goop with mineral spirits to get it slippery, then slid the grips on. It took some effort to get them on, but I was still able to adjust them and get them where I wanted. After setting up for a day they are on there solid.

    Don't use grip adhesive. I don't care. Won't bother me at all.

    The MP grip cutter looks pretty cool and I'm as bit of a tool freak, but I've had good results by cutting the end centers out with an exacto type knife and then making it pretty with a rotary sanding bit on the drill press.
    Grip glue on the bar and some in the grip then install it before taking it back off and letting it dry a little, then another coat of glue before the final installation and excess wipe off.

    Mike-AK, I don't on the kids bikes. Water with dishwashing soap. Takes a week or two to dry then stuck pretty good. Nothing to scrape off!

    Grip glue and sometimes wire. What I did think was odd is that Husky used no glue. I turner the left side around on the first ride. Had to install bark busters so it made for an easy job getting them off as I like another style grip.

    Alright but here's the problem. They don't offer a grip for a husqvarna! They only offer it for kawi, ktm, honda, yamaha, and suzuki. And the throttle cam is different for each. So which one did you choose for your 310? I want a set as I used them when i raced ATV's and loved them. And grip glue sucks :thumbsdown:

    I ordered the ones for a KTM, have them on right now. For 2strokes the Beta ones work, both have domino throttles. Plus now ODI has 2 grip patterns, half-waffle & one called Rogue, which is kinda like a pillow grip.

    Where the throttle cam's pretty similar? I just don't want something that is going to change the cam ratio to much.

    I really couldn't tell any diff, I'll check the throttle tubes side by side.

    I ended up painting the bars and throttle tube with Goop, letting it semi-dry, dumping some mineral spirits over it, and forcing the grips over it. They have not budged a bit since.

    Husky grips are Domino. Domino grips are Husky. The world is so confusing.

    Sorry...I thought we were having a grip diameter argument. Shouldn't you be off engineering something I can use, like a shark fin or a new oil return setup for my 310?
