Default Re-glue on my grips

I need to re-glue my left hand handlebar grip. Any suggestions on the type of glue to use? Obviously the original glue didnt work too well. I have the ISO kuraykan grips and they are about 2 years old. I like the grips so changing to another style is not an option that i want ot consider.
Maybe gorilla glue?

I have used an all purpose automotive adhesive and it worked great. Just get a tube in the automotive department at walmart for under $5

I know this is probably gonna get me flamed, but the Honda Grip glue works freakin great. It not only works on the grips, I've used it to glue on one of the rubber inserts on the floorboard of my 'Glide after the original glue failed after 18yrs. The stuff just works.

After 30 days, my left one is loose too. Will watch for the best solution.

If you think that you may want to try different bars I highly suggest that you don't use Gorilla Glue. I did on my stock SG bars, decided to switch to the touring pullbacks. I couldn't get the left grip back off. I ended up having to use a dremmel with a cutoff wheel to slice the grip in half them pry it off with a screw driver. That Gorilla Glue is some tough ****!!!

Not sure why you want to glue your grips, I just switched bars and it was a lot easier to get them off without glue.
