About 3 hours ago I put Kuryakyn grips on my Wing. I used the glue that came with it, followed the instructions, yada, yada, yada.

The problem is I think I could pull both grips off without too much trouble. How long should I let this set up before it is suppose to be cured? I know the allen wrench stuck fine to the back of my hand in a matter of seconds, but the grips seem to be taking a lot longer.

My experience is that the glue is extremely fast drying. After you apply it you should be moving and installing without hesitation. The grips have always been ready to go for me as soon as I put my boots on. I have had no problems whatsoever with using them right away.

If they still use the same glue provided with the grips that I received a couple of years ago... it sets instantly :shock: . Now if you didn't use enough glue, that's a different story. If you have to re-glue, just be careful with the right grip so you don't glue it to the switch housing. When I was installing mine and pushing on the grip the glue was also being pushed up and I stopped a little before the housing to wipe away the excess and that's where the grip stayed and is today, about 1/4" from where I wanted it to go.
