Grip slipped off while riding....
I was riding along on a 30 mph stretch and all of a sudden I noticed the left grip was twisting and I just effortlessly slipped it of the handlebar - so glad this didn't happen at a more critical time!
So, how do I re-attach it? I have some blue (medium) loc-tite - do I just apply a bunch of that on the handlebar and slip the grip back on?

You need to use some glue. I used weather stripping cement with good luck. Be sure to let it tack up.
Gorilla glue works too but be careful because it expands and will ooze out.
This was on my Sportster. The grip on my Road Glide is held on by the switch housing. no glue required.

When I installed my new handlebars I twisted the left grip off. When I reinstalled it, it was slipping. I pulled it off and dripped some super glue all around the inside of the grip and rolled it around to cover as much of the grip as possible then shoved it back on. Works great.
