    if they arent sliding, you're riding in too clean-er conditons

    if you're bending bars, get a honda. near on impossible to bend bars on a honda due to the rubber mounts (well nobody i know has managed anyway)

    sorry, you did how many laps of the t100 before running out of time?

    actually its because of the rubber mounts which hold the bar mounts which when you crash well will just move. simply punch the bars back into place

    those pins or mounts are not cheap when they do bend though, you have to buy the whole kit, iv seen and bent plenty of bars with the rubber mounts!

    Hey shafty don't get too excited. ADOS F2 works ok for the hotgrips on my road bike, but only for a while. It just doesn't last, on- or off-road. Fine when it first sets, but lets go fairly swiftly. So hope you are trying one of the others.

    Will have to try one of the other suggestions on the dirt bikes myself.

    btw B0000M, I'm told the lock wire is mainly to stop water getting to the glue.
    Cheers,
    Colin
