Default hand gripps

Any good ideas for keeping the gripps from turning and slipping off when you are in a bad postion and need something firm to hold on to?
By the way I can't wait to mod this bike but it will have to wait until winter. I'm to BUSY!!!
I like reading your posts and I will post some pictures when I figure how to!

My left grip loosened up and I just cleaned the bar and the inside of the grip and used "3M Spray Adhesive". I sprayed it on the bar and then slid the grip on and left it overnight. Worked great!

Out west here we safety wire the grips on.....most grips have a slot for the wire.

Double side masking tape and some acetone to help the grip slide on works pretty good, but you gotta be quick.

I have always used soapy water to get them on, and then when the water drys the soap helps hold them on.

for BMX we always used hairspray - spray it in the grip and on the bar, helps it slide on and glues it in place

I used contact cement. Just brush it on then slide the grip on then let sit overnight.
