I've done it 2 ways, use "thick" type CA (superglue), and shove them on fast! then remove throttle sleeve and clean out the superglue that will get on the bar. But then I found out you can just use rubbing alcohol to act as a lubricant and when dry the rubber is sticky enough to just grip by itself. Hairspray is an old standby for some, but Oury (they make the grips I like) recommends just using alcohol as they say hairspray weakens the rubber over time.
