Last time I was at the track I noticed my left hand grip slipping, and after I got off the track it was halfway hanging off. What can I do so that doesn't happen again?

Mine did the same thing. Dave scuffed up the bar, used loctite then put zip ties around the grip so I could ride while it dried. It has stayed on ever since.

I know how to safety wire, but where would I wire the grip to?

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll try using grip glue first if that doesn't work then I'll have to safety wire.

That's exactly how I do it.
