Hair spray isn't going to fix the issue. These aren't like normal motorcycle grips. The c-clamp on the inside of the grip and the nut on the end of the bar are what hold the grip in place. If the grip is loose, you to mess with those two things until it's tight.

I changed my stock grips out for the "wild ones" grips from Harley. The clutch side was loose for me as well. But I figured out that between the inside bar-clamp and the bar-end mirror adapter, I could get it tight.

To everyone saying that hair spray will help, look at how the stock grips works. Hair spray isn't going to help anything because the grip isn't attached to the handlebar that way.
