I love reading these types of threads...so many different methods.
I used one of two methods depending upon how tight the grips fit. If it's a tight fit, brake parts cleaner works well because it causes the rubber to slightly vulcanize to the bar or throttle tube. I give just a quick spray, not soaking the inside of the grip. You do have to be quick getting the grip slid on and positioned because it sets up FAST.
When I have to glue the grips, I have found that E6000, a craft glue you can find at Walmart, Michaels, etc has just enough grip and sets up fairly quick. It also cleans off easy when you go to remove the grips.
If you are running aluminum bars that are textured or have a knurled surface, you'll probably need hlue, at least that's my experience.
