Slipping grip

Hey all,



I haven't really dug into the problem much, but particularly during my rainy ride home a weekend ago or so my throttle grip would rotate on the actual throttle and even begin to slide off of the handlebars while going down the highway.



Any ideas for fixing it, I'd much rather not glue the grip on. Heating it up would make it stretch I imagine.

With my ISO grips the throttle side fit perfect and is very tight, needed no glue or anything.



The clutch side on the other side was loose so I just simply followed what the back of the ISO package said and wrapped a few layers of electrical tape around the bar to in essence make the bar thicker then slid the grip tightly over the electrical tape...so far, so good.
