ive always used hairspray. with that happening. i would just get new grips dude. not safe at all, if you need to jam the throttle real quick and all that happens is a spinning grip you will be fu(ked!

Didn't know that this could happen, my aftermarket grips are held in place by a flange that sits inside the corntol switch housing. There is always a little wiggle side to side (like 1-2 mm of play), but nothing like what you describe. Sounds like a) the grips are junk/old and need to be replaced, or b) they are incorrectly installed.

There is a product available called "Griplock" about $3 - $6 a tube. It is sold through Midwest Motorcyle Parts distributors. (midwest is a wholesaler, but e&m motorcycle is a retailer for their products on line and locally in St. Louis.
