Excellent technique. However I applied some soapy water to the inside of the grip puppies and some on the existing grips and did mine and it took all of about 10 or 15 minutes at the most. Thank you.
Just got mine yesterday and got frustrated trying to put them on. Watching this video. I am now excited to try this to get them onto my Vulcan S. Thank you!
Sir, you are a grip and life savior. '' Grip savior '', because till i saw the video, i destroyed 4-5 pairs of them, using various methods, that believe me, you don' t want to know, because you will laugh, even when you sleep. And '' life savior '' because I CAN SLEEP TOO, now. ps: the grips i bought AND destroyed they didn't have not even close, the price of the Puppies. Fortunately.
I have a VFR1200x and fitted a pair this morning, I just squirted some Quick Dry Electrical Contact Cleaner inside the new grips and they went on with a gentle twist in seconds, literally about 10 seconds ... the contact cleaner dried about a minute later and grips are on! Standard size Puppies ... not rode it yet but install was a breeze.
Tried it on my gas handle. Was quite difficult. Soapy water in left puppy and boom. Fitted in seconds. Also, could not get the plastic bag out... didn't work 4 me. Good tip though 😇
I just installed the puppy grips on my FJR1300 - with soapy water. Easy, fast, no problems. I really dont understand why people are always having problems sliding these over. I put it in soap water, slid it over the handle - and used a towel to just bring it completely over the handle bar. It takes not even 20 seconds on each side
I bought Grip Puppies for my RE and found them too fat and squishy, even for my big hands. I use leather wraps from Trip Machine now. Great feel, and a cool classic look.
Does the oil dry or stay slippery? A little bit of soapy water is probably the best and easiest way to put them on (easier than the method I showed.) They slide on easily and the water dries quickly.
F king love you tube.. so far..use air..... use plastic bag.... use plastic thick insert like roll up cutting board..... an I just used a plastic bottle an cut down inserted basically same thing but used a tiny bit of wd40 to get plastic out ez... f I love my peps on you tube!!!
I had put one grip on already and it was a massive effort and then I stumbled upon this video. It was relatively much quicker and easier.
Worked brilliantly - although I did use a bit of soapy water as well. The plastic bag made it very easy! Thanks!
Several methods suggested here on RUclips, I tried this one and it was easy peasy, at least as easy as shown here if not even quicker.
Thanks!
I tried the zip tie method and it was a nightmare. Will try this one.
Worked for me but the bag tore a little bit puling it out. Was able to just roll the grip puppy and retrieve the extra plastic. Thanks for the tip!
Wise work. Congrats🎉
Thank you, this helped a lot. I has to roll the grips up to get the plastic out on the second grip but that wasn’t too bad
That’s very clever 😊
I’ve installed at least 10 pair of these successfully - with soapy water. I might try this next , thanks 👍🏼
Yes, soapy water also works great!

Thank you.
Thanks - Yes, the soapy water method seems to be the best method!
Thank you! This worked great
Glad it helped!
Ingenious!!! I always used Aeresol hairspray but this is a much cleaner way.
Just got mine yesterday and got frustrated trying to put them on. Watching this video. I am now excited to try this to get them onto my Vulcan S. Thank you!
A lot of people have also mentioned that a tiny bit of soap and water they slip on nice and easy - may want to give that a try also.
@@RideWithJerry Thanks! I'm about to head outside and do battle with the beast!!
Thanks sangat bermanfaat
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Brilliant

Yes, seems that a little soapy water is the best way. Wish I knew that before I did mine! :)
Out-of-the-box thinking.

You are right! Soapy water is the fastest and easiest method.
I bought Grip Puppies for my RE and found them too fat and squishy, even for my big hands. I use leather wraps from Trip Machine now. Great feel, and a cool classic look.
I've thought about doing the leather wraps. The leather wraps do look a lot better than the Grip Puppies!
Very good methode.... Maybe also a bit soapy water between the plastic and the Grip Puppies?
Yes! I changed my clip-on handle bars, just used soapy water to get them on, and it worked great 👍
Hi. I was going to try this but I just put some drops of water Inside the grips and they slipped right in.
Thanks though…
Yes, a little bit or water (or soapy water) is probably the quickest and easiest way!
suggest to apply a tin coat od oil
Does the oil dry or stay slippery? A little bit of soapy water is probably the best and easiest way to put them on (easier than the method I showed.) They slide on easily and the water dries quickly.
You can also use soap water
Do they slide on easy? I was concerned about making the grips slippery but I guess they would dry quickly.
@@RideWithJerry yes Jerry, with this method they slide easily and if they feel slippery you can use normal water to wash off. They dry up quickly. 😊
Do you have to trim them or anything if using bar end mirrors?
@@theradiantchild Sometimes yes, sometimes no, all bars are different lengths n all.
Talc /baby powder and thay will fall on 😎
Thing is, how do i remove them without damages?
They can be difficult to put on but are much easier to pull and slide off.
@@RideWithJerry you are right, mate. I just removed them few days ago and it was too easy 😅. I just swapped it to other 7/8 handlebar
Just use talc powder and thay will fall on 😎
wtf just use your palm hit the end of the grip it will compress air inside and slide over in a second
