    Most grip glue is contact based, so Ados or similar should be fine. Some of the new brands/formulations are going to a cyanoacrylate based glue I see, but they must have some sort of retardant or different formulation to stop the glue setting up straight away (cyanoacrylate is super glue).

    The preferred method is to glue AND wire your grips....

    I bought something that didn't work... and whatever the shop used multiple times kept coming off as well, annoying as heck!!

    So I ended up wrapping the inner handlebar sleeve with a bit of 80gsm photocopy paper then slid the handlebar warmers on quite tightly (there probably was leftover glue on both surfaces), and presto, no more slippy and slidey problems!!

    I use grip glue - works pretty well. You can little tubes of it from bike shops or a normal size one that should last a lifetime

    Araldite seems to have done the trick.

    dont get the genuine honda glue, well it didnt work for me anyway!

    Im just using wire and its good as, might try pvc pipe glue next time tho!
    My choice is what I choose to do,
    And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

    Ive never used any glue on my grips - I struggle to slide them on dry and then use a small plastic cable tie and they've never moved.The problem I get is bending the handlebars lol! On my 4th set in a year!
    Whether you think you can or cant - you will always be right.
