Default Handle bar grip adhesive

New grips going on my Heritage. What is the recommended adhesive for the left grip?

Believe it or not, common hairspray works great. I read it here, and tried it when I did mine. No problems (and cheap)!

You shouldn't need any if you're installing H-D grips,they have a built on flange to keep them from spinning and coming off.
If not, any shop should carry grip glue,it works the best.

I didn't use any either. Grip is really tightly on there.

As mentioned above the HD grips normally have a lip that slots under the housing so it wont slide off. If not HD they still should have about 4 small allen-key holes and just secure with a bit of blu loctite.Thats what i did and it worked well.
