Are these newly put on or worn out grips? What did you try to stick them with already?

I got some 100 grit sand paper, ruffed the ends up, cleaned the bar ends real well with alcohol and then used some 90 second epoxy, then safty wired them. No movent at all.

Epoxy works very well, they come off easily when it comes time to change grips, too.

Ive had good luck with Goop all-purpose adhesive and sealant. You can find it at Lowes and many other stores.

I have had the best luck with safety wire. However I tied up someone else's grips the other day and they move a little bit. But his were some hard grips. I run the Renthal grips in the medium compound. As far I am concerned they are the best! :D

I agree 100% best there is. I pound grips on dry and then wrap them with 4 wire strips per grip and they don't budge..

take some friction tape, like the stuff on tennis racket handles, soak it in gasoline, wrap it around the bars, and slide the grips on. they will slide on easily and never come off until you spray some wd-40 inside the grips
