Installing OEM hand warmers

[andyroo]

Hi everyone
I’m going to install some new OEM hand warmers and the kit comes with the warmer, hand grips and 4 rivets.
Is there supposed to be glue that comes with the kit.
Or because of the rivets, Yamaha doesn’t use any glue?
Let me know if I should get some grip glue or not bother
Thanks

Most just use some cheap hairspray to spray inside the hand grip for adhesion vs using some sort of glue. You will be surprise at how well it will hold once dried and riveted in place.

This is the way. Hairspray lubricates when going on, but dries like light glue. Used it a few times and has worked always (except on that damn roto-tiller)

I used Gorilla glue epoxy.

I've read filling the handlebars with foam helps, has anyone done this? Is it as simple as getting spray foam and loading them up?

yes foaming the bars does help the handwarmers get hotter.

I agree with the foam.
I had them on high and I had to turn them down.
