Default Gluing on grips?
I used 3m spray adhesive because it has always worked on my dirt bikes, but I've put the left hand grip on twice now because it keeps slipping. Anyone got any better ideas??

Hair spray. No joke - spray it inside the grip and while wet it eases installation. Leave it alone at least over night, 24 hrs if possible. Did mine months ago and still tight as a drum even in the hot FL sun.

all i use is soapy water works great and removeable (if your strong enough) . no need for anything else , you can use soapy water to assist in getting it back off as well

i USED JUST A COUPLE OF DROPS INSIDE THE GRIP OF "WURTH" SKG GEL ADHESIVE, IT'S LIKE SUPER GLUE BUT IT GIVES YOU A SHORT TIME TO POSITION IT BEFORE IT SETS, GOD KNOWS HOW I'LL GET THE GRIP OFF LATER!

I didnt use a damn thing. Just slide it on and i think the clamps will hold it on. But i dont feel it sliping around, so im good for now. Hairspray is an interesting idea... I also like!

3 M Spray Adhesive for me too, twice on the Kury left grip in one day, but it appears that she is on to stay this time.
