Hand grips?
What's the best way to secure new grips? I purchased some that came with glue but they are starting to come loose.
Any and all input would be appreciated.

safety wire ... ala motocross... no glue needed! 
I double loop then twist the ends for each rung, twist the end at the knot into the grip in an inconspicuous area, ... they will never come loose or twist !
I posted this pic in Frankenstien thread, but sadly not many ppl take notice or appreciate the details it seems...

Thanks Dubious. I now remember seeing your pic from page 1.
Did you have any trouble on the trottle side. I know this side can be sensitive and restrict throttle return.
Do you have any pics showing where you twisted the wire? I'm not sure I can use this method because I'm running gel grips without the ridges.

Will likely cut the gel grips. They have to be wired pretty tight
I twisted it on the underside where my fingers don't reach, and the palm doesn't rest.
I am away from home and don't have pics for ya right now.
Throttle side is no problem, just keep about 3/8 " away from the end like pic'd above!
