Girls.

I've just installed renthal grips and Its seems they will be needing safety wire to hold them down with out using glue.

Therefore what thickness are you using?:confused:

I'm thinking 0.032 should do the tick?.

That's the one I use. Mainly as it's just easy to get.
Personally, wouldn't use any thinner. The pigtails/ends don't fold away as easy.

You shouldn't need to lockwire the renthal grips if the bikes just sitting on the stands, only if you ride it.

You need to use 20". 32" is perfect for lock wiring everything else but is far too chunky for the bars.

112

That's the 32" on the left and the 20" on the right, same as I use on my Renthal grips.
