No slip on mine, as a matter of fact, I had to take a rubber mallet and pound the throttle side tube on as it was tight (even after sanding the inside of the tube) and the glue started setting up before I could get it slid all the way on. No way is it going to wiggle or slip. Figured if they ever quit working I'll never get them off and have to buy a new throttle tube.

Maybe some 2 part 5 minute epoxy? But if you ever wanted to replace the grips you too would have to buy a new throttle tube.
The provided super glue was a challenge as it does set up really fast and is very drippy and runny, so it was all over the place when I was done. My throttle tube must be thinner than the one on your bike because sliding the grip on was no trouble. Not lose but not tight.
Maybe epoxy is the answer.
