I use spray paint clear coat, never have had one come loose. Coat the inside of the grip and the handlebar, slide the grip on and twist. Once dry it will be on there and shouldn't come loose.

I would stay away from using the hairspray if you use grip heaters. It is far more likely to change its hold when hot.

You should install a goldfinger left hand throttle, it will hold the grip on.

And help you crash your sled. They should be called gold finger " stuck throttle "


I use superglue to install grips, they never come off. A little light air in the end of the grip will help it go on. With superglue you have to be quick. Both hairspray and the spraypaint are proven methods but require more time to set than the super glue trick.
