Does grip glue make that much of a difference? I also heard that spray paint works? Whats your opinion?
My $0.02
I think wires are more important than the glue though. They still spin with only the glue in place but not when I wire them on.

I dont understand the whole wire thing, its just not needed.

I was putting grips on my 07 suzuki dr650 and it took forever. The clutch side came off easy but on the throttle side the grip was fused to the throttle body. Took my an hour to slowly chunk the grip off. Then i said F it and took the throttle body off and dremeled the shit out of it. I just slid the throttle grip on with water. Then on the clutch side i decided to try the gorilla glue. Wow that sucked. It just added friction to it. Took like 20 min to get on my grip is pretty much half worn from all the tugging.
Im never changing grips on that thing again.
JK. I use hair spray. Makes putting on the grip easy while wet, and then hold it somewhat once dry.
I then wire the grips, mostly because I have a cool set of wiring pliers.
That's what I use, but I clean the old stuff off with lacquer thinner.
