spit on the bars (just a tiny bit) then slip the grips on

when you want em off, shove a screw drive into em and tip some water in and twist.

I find the best thing is hairspray.

Seriously - spray it inside the grip which lubricates it, slip it on nice and easy, then when it's dried it's nice and firm  :)

Cheers

dont use anything or they will always come lose, there is a special technique to get grips on & off in seconds, i'll take a few photo's 2moro & post a how to...(these techniques were mastered in the ghetto when kids left their bikes outside shops that had better grips on than yours, they came out to find they had no grips)

two cable ties in the grips, slide grips on to bars with a cable tie each side of the bar, pull out ties, job done.
