    use hairspray. works the best. either that or use a compresser with an air nozzle to blow air through the handle bar to widen out the grip a little bit so that it slides right on then cut a small hole in the other grip and spray air in it while holding the other one on. easy.

    I use brake cleaner. The grips slide right on and WILL NOT come loose. It kinda melts them to the bars I guess. By the way,nice write up Pappy!

    i had some buddies find these ODI grips at dunefest at one of then vendors when we all were there, i think they're way worth it because you tighten them down and dont have to worry about it

    I have always used silicon spray. Spray it inside the grip, as it begins to dry its slippery and the grip slides right on. Then I heat the grip to dry the rest of the spray. Seems to work well too.

    Those are some good grips there

    Back in the old days I used any kind of lacker based spray paint, that workes real good but now I use grip glue.
    I can't remember what brand it is, it's stowed away in the trailer but it's realy just supper glue.
    You have to be carfull not to get it on your hands or you'll be sleeping in the trailer with your hands stuck to the bike.LOL!!
    It works good though, the grips will wear out befor they come lose.
