I use nothing to glue the grips. Blow them bitches up like a balloon with a compressor and slide them right on. Never had issue with them moving.

I got my driven grips from Motomummy as well. I saw everyone on the R1 forums raving about them. So I put them on back in March. I just took them off last weekend. I put about 3000 miles on the bike between March and the end of May. Already they had several spots that were worn down on both grips. I'm talking like totally flat. I never had that happen with any pairs of progrips I ever used.

As far as comfort, I like the "grippy" factor of the grips. But I definatly felt more vibration in the handlebars with them. Even though they were a "gel" style grip. For the money, i'd go with a set of progrips everytime.

Ehh I hope I don't have those problems with the grips. If I do then it won't be a huge loss...I've wasted more money than $17 before.

The progrips I had slid all over the damn place before I took them off. I didn't like the feel anyway, so I put the stockers back on. Never had a problem since. 10,000 miles on the stock grips and they don't show any wear.

My stock grips have 9,100 miles on them now and they are showing wear, and I'm so tired of the virations causing my hands to fall asleep.

The new grips showed up today so I put them on. I can't test them out since its freakin raining out tonight...I need to let the grip glue dry anyway.
