Use some sort of grip adhesive, they work as a lubricant and the grip will slide right on. I personally use 3M Weather Strip Adhesive (cheap and effective). I've had success (in a pinch) with Permatex "Ultra" High Tack Gasket Adhesive. There are a ton of other products that work, including Grip Glue. Don't forget to safety wire, especially if you're riding in wet conditions. I crashed once because I didn't safety wire. The previous owner installed that grip as well, so I don't know what it was glued with.
I use hairspray and safety wire. Probably what works the best though is some clear cloat spraypaint with safety wire. Just spray some on the grip and on the bar and they slide right on.
I second the 3M Weatherstrip adhesive. I have never lost a grip it. Good stuff. I've never found the need to safety wire a grip to keep it on. They hold so well it's a nightmare removing them for replacement.
