I have never been able to get the glue to work right. I use carb cleaner. make sure that the grip and the bars are super clean. Spray the bars and the inside of the grips with carberator cleaner. Immediatly put the grip on the bars. once the carb cleaner evaporates, you'll have to cut the grips to get them off. It works great. Some street bike places sell this stuff that is alcohol based that evaporates the same way, but the carb cleaner, I think, makes the rubber a little stick to help. By the way, not to insult your intellegence, but are you sure that you bought ATV grips? The throttle side of motorcycle grips are bigger than the other for the twist grip. This will give you a fit unless you have a twist grip throttle.

A good point that esears brought up about cycle grips altho only one of them would be oversize & very obviously too large. You might try roughing up the bar ends with some course emery or sand paper first to give the adhesive more of a gripping surface.
I have used hair spray on my grips for years in competition & rec. riding and never had a
problem. I use the cheapest hard hold in a pump spray & cover the inside of the grip as well as the bar ends. After sliding them on, I let them sit for 24 hours to set up good before riding. /After they set up I use safety wire in three places on the grip...at each end & in the middle. Many brands of grips, have grooves for the wire, making it easier to get below the surface of the grip.
Hope this helps..just be sure to wait 24 hrs to ride.
