I have always used a few drops of dish soap and water.
Do they get loose when soaked in heavy rain?

I've had a loose left grip for months. BMW and Oxford grips aren't the perfect fit for the left side. Bloody nice and warm tho! The hotter it gets the looser it gets.
Just need to be careful putting it on the centre stand without pulling the grip off.
Must buy more super glue some day.

I usually use dirt bike grips, when they are new, they fit tight. If you have used or older grips glue may be a good idea.

I work in a bike shop and we have tried nearly everything over the years. We found that spray paint works the best. Give it about 15 minutes to "set".
To remove the left grip simply jam your compressed air nozzle into the right end of the handlebar. Twist the left grip and it will jump off into your hand.

The real Italian Gran Turisimo grips are still available. Try Klempf's British Parts and tell them to get you a set from Coventry Spares. In the meantime try the Renegade grips from Biltwell.
