I've used hairspray before, just spray it in the grip, slide it on and it dries and sets up like glue[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The only thing I have used that really works 100% is cheap glue. I have used both Seal All and Fix All (seem to be the same stuff really) that are normal contact glue/cement that you can get at walmart or most dollar stores.

Only problem is that I have to cut them off most times though once or twice I got lucky and was able to break the seal by slowly prying the grip from the bar with a long screwdriver.

Have not had a grip come lose yet, and I dont even have to use wire ties either.

one of the main things to get grips to stay is to really clean the bars before putting new grips on....you can use hairspray or other low adhesion glue....

on my quad which has heated grips, I use two-part expoxy....I don't want them coming off because they are heated and will slip more than other grips when heated up....

also, to put on your grips, if they are though to get on, you can shoot compressed air in from the end and they'll slide right on...

I jsut spray the insde with brake and parts cleaner. U have to slide them on super fast before the stuff dries. Than its best to wire band them for added safety.

Spread 3M weatherstip adhesive over throttle housing and then spray carb cleaner inside grip. Cover grip with the palm of your hand and shake well. Then shake out excess and slide grip on throttle housing. It will set up in 15 min. or so.

Another cheap fix is superglue, it works just as good as grip glue..

how long will it take for the hairspray to dry? do you put it in the grip or on the bars? do you need to apply pressure on it ?
