grips
When ready to put the new grips on lube up the inside of the grips and the handle bars with hairspray. Acts as a lubricant when sliding grips on...and then turns into a psuedo glue when dried. Just did it on my GFs Cb350f. Seems to be working great.

Get the grips that bolt on...
Or as koehlerk suggested...

If the old ones are stock just stick an air hose in the hole at the end and they will blow right off, as for sticking the new ones on , I use hair spray as well. Have done about 10 sets and never had one slip yet.Gary Granger

Use the hairspray called "Stiff Stuff" as it is the closest thing to spray epoxy you can get. My sister used to use it on her doo, and it would dry like concrete in no time.
I use it on the grips for my mountain bicycles, once the grips are set, they will not move.Ciao,
