    I made this a couple of years ago for another forum. I know many people won't have a compressor, but also, many will, and for the price, from the likes of Aldi, i would never have a garage without one.

    If you're using second hand grips, if you've had to remove them, make sure they're clean inside, and free from grease/WD40 etc. Fairy liquid them if they are and then pour hot water on them in the sink to get them warm so they dry quickly. Give them a clean out with a rolled up piece of tissue or kitchen roll.

    Then just follow the video...

    I then lockwire each end of the grips to prevent water getting under them in wet riding.

    I use hairspray on flies to turn 'em into gliders.
