Lockon grips are really nice.

But if you want to stabilize existing grips you can remove the grips, spray some hairspray (aquanet extra super is good stuff) in a grip and slide it onto the bar quickly, let sit for a couple hours. Some guys even go nuts and use spray paint. On the milder side, sometimes removing the grips, cleaning the bar with rubbing alcohol, then pouring a little rubbing alcohol into the grips and quickly pushing them on the bar and letting them sit for a while will sometimes be enough to make them stick.
