Product Information
Full details
Pro Taper Grip Glue is designed for motorcycle riders and mechanics who need a reliable way to secure grips to handlebars. Its key benefit is a fast 5-minute drying time, allowing for quick grip replacements without extensive downtime. A potential caveat is that it's formulated for most grip and handlebar types, so compatibility with highly specialized materials should be confirmed.

FAQs
How long does it take for the grip glue to fully cure?
The grip glue dries to the touch and forms a strong bond in approximately 5 minutes, allowing for immediate use. Full, maximum bond strength may take slightly longer, typically within a few hours.
Can I use this on bicycle grips?
While designed for motorcycle grips and handlebars, it may work on bicycle applications. However, compatibility with specific bicycle grip materials and handlebar types should be verified.
Will this glue damage my handlebar finish?
Pro Taper Grip Glue is formulated to bond securely without damaging standard handlebar finishes like chrome, paint, or anodized aluminum when applied and removed correctly.
How much glue should I use?
A thin, even layer applied to the handlebar is generally sufficient. Over-application can lead to excess glue oozing out and potentially making installation more difficult.
What if I need to remove the grips later?
Grip glue creates a strong bond. Removal may require cutting the grip off or carefully working a solvent under the grip edge to break the bond.
Is this product waterproof?
Yes, the cured adhesive creates a strong, waterproof bond that withstands moisture and washing.
Troubleshooting
Grip is still loose after application
Ensure the handlebar and grip interior were perfectly clean and dry. Reapply glue, ensuring a full, even coat and holding the grip firmly for the initial bonding period.
Glue is not drying properly
Check storage conditions; extreme cold or humidity can affect drying time. Ensure the application was thin and even, as thick layers may take longer. Avoid contact with incompatible substances.
Difficulty sliding grip onto handlebar
Apply a slightly thicker, but still even, layer of glue to the handlebar. Work quickly while the glue is wet. If the glue begins to set, remove the grip, clean both surfaces, and reapply.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both the inside of the grip and the handlebar surface are clean, dry, and free from grease or oil. Remove any old glue residue.
- Apply a thin, even layer of Pro Taper Grip Glue to the handlebar surface or the inside of the grip.
- Immediately slide the grip onto the handlebar, twisting slightly to ensure full coverage and an even fit.
- Hold the grip firmly in place for a few moments.
Compatibility:
This grip glue is designed to work with most standard motorcycle grips (rubber, soft compounds) and handlebars (aluminum, steel, chrome, painted). Always test on an inconspicuous area if using with aftermarket or custom grip/handlebar materials.
Care:
Store the glue in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain product integrity. Clean any accidental spills promptly with a suitable solvent before the glue fully cures.
