TBW Grips Question
Just installed my 12" monkey bars and realized how crappy my PM grips have held up after a season and a half. So it looks like time to grab some new grips. I know a lot of them are glue on which I really dont want. I like the ones like the PM's that have the set screws. I was looking at the Avon's and some of the Ness grips but I dont know if they are glue on on not. Anyone have any good grips that are not glued on?

So the Avons are glue on it sounds like. How do you get them off if they are not glued, whats holding it on?

I used these grips on my V-Rod and now my SG and they have never moved while operating the bike(s).

They supply a grip sheet with the grips but I never used it. Once the laquer thinner dries (you have plenty of time to move the grip to where you want it) the grip is not moving unless you want it too. To remove it, twist it hard and the bond will break.

If you're referring the the Left/clutch-side grip; most don't require glue. As you know, stock HD is pretty much "glued" @ factory, but every set I swapped so far wasn't glued...I spritz inside with hairspray (shhh - don't tell the wife) and haven't had one break loose yet. I'm betting you can apply this same principle to any aftermarket grip for 09+ bikes...JMO.
