Fitting Leather Grips ***ideas wanted***

[Ed Minas]

i have new leather grips that I am installing. One is too tight one is too loose.

Anyone have any ideas on securing them to the bars?
The tight one is not a problem I can take a Dremal to it, but how have others fixed them when they are too loose. I am reluctant to use constructive adhesive. I thought about electrical tape on the bars? Any ideas?

I've done the electrical tape thing on loose/hardened rubber grips with good results.

Maybe try the white teflon plumbers tape; its nice because you stretch it on without adhesive.
