| try hairspray, makes the grip slippery at first and then dries
Even better, use 3M Automotive Trim Adhesive (the one with the red accent on
the can, the blue will melt a grip)

I'm using something that we all should have heaps of..... Tube patch glue!!
It's lasted the longest of all the tried methods (but I don't know if it's
going to be easy to remove)

The best thing i've ever found is a light coating of GT-85 (WD40 doesn't
work) just spray some (as little as possible) along the inside of the grip,
put it on and leave for an hour or two. When you come back it will have
evaporated (or disasppeared in some other manner?) and the grips will be on
really well, no turnning at all. The added bonus is that you don't have to
cut your grips of if you want to change them just spray in some more GT-85.
Hope this helps,

Not that I doubt GT-85 works for you but I'm just trying to clarify things
a bit here: Did you actually GT-85 with Oury grips? Or are you talking
using it with about grips in general?
I love the thick cushiness of the Oury grips but they are so soft and
squirmy that no adhesive I tried (paint, super-duty weatherstrip ahesive,
double-stick tape, golf club grip adhesive or tape, hairspray, etc.) could
keep those things from moving around once I started using and sweating on
them. The thing that worked best for me was to use wire ties at the ends
to keep them in place and keep the sweat from getting under them but that
eventually just caused them to tear. When it came time to replace them, I
just popped for a pair of ODI Rogue Lock-On grips. Same large diameter
comfort with collars that lock the grips in place. No muss, no fuss.

Pauly,
Hopefully, your grips will last as long as your bike. Or at least as long
as your handlebars, shifters, and brake levers. If you have glued them on
with rubber cement you will probably destroy them getting them off. The
hair spray method generally works well, as long as both the handlebars and
inside of the grips are clean and oil/grease free. Then, getting them off
in easy.
Two ways that work well getting them off are blowing compressed air into the
hole in the end of the grip, providing you haven't cut them off for bar ends
(though it still can be done), or take a spoke or very thin flat blade
screwdriver and slip it under the grip. Then, spray more hair spray along
the spoke/screwdriver or use a pump sprayer such as a 409 bottle with a
solution of dish soap and water.

Actually it was Yeti Hardcore grips, but they are as hard as they come to
fit, i tryed compressed air, water and hair spray but only GT-85 worked.
Being in Scotland i've never heard of Oury but my mechanic friends swear by
the GT-85 method. Later,

I'm weighing in a bit late, but how about rubbing
alcohol? It will dissolve some grips, such as Pedro's, but not
most, and it evaporates. And you can use it for cleaning those
hard-to-clean stains off your bike.
-Andrew's room's smell notwithstanding, he's not
an alcoholic

The only reason I asked is that Ourys are unlike most other grips in that
they're not only thicker but also made of a softer material so they do
"squirm" around a bit more in your hand. They also seem to stretch more. I
tried a lot of methods that people "swear by" to hold the Oury grips in
place only to "swear at" them in use. I had heard of the GT-85 method but
have never had the occasion to use it. (And probably won't now that I've
tried clamp-on grips like the ODI Lock-On and Serfas Connectors.) I just
wanted others to know that Oury grips can be a pain to make stay in place.
Take care,
Keith

I've used hairspray on a lot of bikes in the past, but I've found the Oury's
seem to like water more than most... Plus riding in the southern part of
Australia can mean a lot of wet rides at times...
As for the grips lasting as long as the bike, a word of warning to users...
Don't leave them in the sun for any more than a few hours... Mine are
breaking down (very sticky, rubber comes off in your hands etc.) after the
bike was left for a day in bright, hot sunshine (typical Victorian summer).
