Default Aftermarket hand grip question

I installed a set of aftermarket handgrips, and the right side throttle grip "rattles" on my Dyna. is there any type of material that I can use to shim it? I had thought two sided tape, but Im not sure if after a while that would cause the throttle to stick. i am thinking a nylon bushing type setup maybe,something that would last the life of the grips, and by the time it gets loose it would be time for new grips anyway....

Cut a plastic milk jug container ( UHMW ) it makes great shim stock.

Thanks! I will try that. The grips do set the bike off, I should have done it sooner. The bike is 15 year s old now so I am going over some "wear item" replacement. As a side note, the factory grips came off easy, I had read about cutting the glue with WD 40,and I used small picks and a hose removal tool, along with some "twisting"and the left side kind if popped right off after the glue let loose. Throttle side is held on with the switch housing and cables. I also used some glue on the left and there were two set screws. Anyone wanting to do this upgrade, its fairly easy.
