How do I install the grips?


I just got a brand new set of Domino racing grips and I was able with great force to slide the grips on 3/4 of the way on both sides yet they wont move ANY further. It just is very tight. I have tried using an air compressor to push the grips on just there are to many spots where the air leaks out so that does not work. Anyone know of any other suggestions?

Try warm soapy water.

Hair spray, while wet, will allow the grip to slide on and provide some tack, when dry, to keep them in place.

Ok well I actually tried hairspray a couple days ago when I first tried to get them on. Either way, its all done! I just decided that this is bull sh!t and I used all my force and slid those sucks right on. It's amazing what you can do when you get upset.

Too bad sometimes getting upset and lead to bad things, like today when I went to kick the wall and fractured my toe not to mention putting a dent in the wall haha. Hurts like a mofo. Hope tomorrow it will be better.
