08:07 am | I've been thinking about installing a set of Hot Grips on my 99 1500 SE. Does anyone have any advise on how to install the grips ? I've never installed grips of any kind, and have been told it can sometimes be a real bear getting the old grips off. Any Pointers ? |

08:53 am | Hi Jon I took my stock grips off with a hot air gun, one used for paint removal but I might think a hair dryer would do the same. Just heat them one at a time and work them off. I also found through the boards here to use hair spray to put them on with. I tried rubber contact cement but did not last long I put on with hair spray and they have stayed for most of this summer and have not even shown any sign of working loose. rocky |

01:11 pm | I've had them for years, along with my heated jacket liner, it's the best money I ever spent.
I cut the old ones off (why keep them, you are never going to put them back on) and used JB Weld to keep the Hot Grips on for 9 years. |

You may want to consider Polly heaters that install inside the handlebar.39 bucks and you can use any grip you like, I love mine. |
