Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Wax, Glue, Oil and filter

I rode in the rain this past week for 3 days and my grip got loose. We crazy glued it and that worked fine for a day, but then it rained again. So I need to get the proper adhesive.

I also need more chain wax and soon, oil and a filter.

Has anyone a favorite place to get all this stuff so I can do one-stop-shopping?

Advance Auto has it all. PureOne PL14612 filter, Shell Rotella synthetic oil, chain wax and super glue.
Before you glue the grip again, scrub the chrome up good with sandpaper so it sticks better.

are we talking the advance auto that is the stand alone stores in the 'burbs? That is easy enough, so need to order online for the best prices?

Is there a particular weight oil that is for our bikes?

Is there a grip adhesive better than crazy glue?

Charles

Most motorcycle shops, especially the dirt bike and quad runner type shops have grip glue available in small tubes.
Dinqua's right....use a piece of emery cloth to rough up the chrome on the handlebar first.

Try wrapping a few "rounds" of electrical tape around the bar, then apply some glue & slip on the grip.

You can get it all online. I just visited Cycle Gear today (the store) where they have it all.

I am currently running the Rotella 5-40 synthetic oil and she really like it. I know the recommendatioon is 10-40 but since she runs just fine and I put over 1k miles in the last week on her I trust it just fine. I also used the shiny new temp guage and the temps held nice and steady with it as well.
Yes the Advance Auto/Auto Zone (they both carry it all) are the stand alone little orange/red and white auto parts stores in every town in North America. Geez, even up in Canada. The complete homoginization of NA is almost finalized there fellas.

Not to rant and change channels, but crimeys, every stinking little town/city/burg I go through looks just like the last one it seems. Same Wally Mart, Dollar General, Big Lots, Mickey D's, Wendy's etc etc. The entire continent is turning into the worlds largest strip mall, designed and built by the same contractors, the ALL look the same.
Ok, ramble mode disengaged.

You forgot the Starbucks. There is a Starbucks on every block of every town big enough to have blocks. I haven't been there in a very long time, but I wouldn't be surprized if there were at least 3 in Cut and Shoot TX.

In Canada it's Tim Hortons. I was in Hamilton area near Toronto and I could'nt believe how many of these are out there. BTW they do coffee and pastries/donuts. A cross between Startbucks and Dunkin donuts perhaps. Only been in a Starbucks once but it looked similar. Wow from oil and filters to coffee and donuts

Tim Horton has also invaded Canandaigua. All of a sudden there are two of them here. Went up overnight. They just appeared one day. When I was in Canada the guys I was with actually navigated by them too. Everywhere we went the directions always included Tim's as points of navigation.

If you guys don't like chain stores move to Vermont.
