i use spray paint.clean your bars really well rmoving old glue with like brake cleaner or something like it the spray paint the inside of the grip with a heavy coat and slip her on and let her dry.you will not rip them off after this.overnight is best.any color any brand will work

I just use hairspray, I've tried grip glue but the "super hold" hairspray has been working great for me.

I spray it into the grip until it's good and wet throughout and slide it on.

If you go to those extremes how do you get them off when they are wearing out? :confused:

Even with the hairspray I have to cut them off:(

Sounds like Gorilla Glue is the duct tape of WV, Haydug probably uses it to hold his truck and trailer together:p
