If you have some floating around the house, spray the inside of the grips with hair spray before installing them. It may sound like an old wives tale, but I got this tip off a number of other sites and it definitely worked for mine.

a blast of compressed air helps get them on off without trashing them also

I use lock on downhill mountain bike grips. They lock on with an allen key at both ends and never move. Perfect if your hosing your bike all the time.

| Im not sure, I use a thumb throttle. I recon you would get them to fit with a bit of hot water or something. I wonder if anyone dose them for motorbikes? you'd think so. |

there are a few things around like that for bikes as well, usually the grips end up being a bigger diameter, like the MTB ones, which can be a bit uncomfortable.
Yogie, on new bars I usually just blow the grips on with Comp air then lock wire. (helps if your bar ends are blocked for the air trick to work)
2nd hand grips or old bars I'll use a bit of grip glue (tarzans grip is the same stuff) and then lock wire them on afterwards.

i guess the next question 2 b asked is "whats the best brand of hair spray 2 use?"....if so your in luck, My wifey is a barber/hair dresser...ill pass it on 2 her 2 get the right advice 4 that. She buys/uses that much of the stuff that we probably should have shares in a company, because we'd b F!@#in rich!!
