Go to any golf shop and get some grip tape. it's like 2-sided masking tape. clean your bars, put it on, and peel the backing off. The put some paint thinner in your grip, shake it around, and pour it over the tape so it's wet. Quickly slide the grip on and after it dries, that mother won't move.
I do like the WD40 trick tho...

I use hairspray when working on bikes that don't belong to me. Slip a spoke under the grip, give it a spray, and twist the grips off. A bit inside before installation and they slide right on. I bought 14 sets of ODI lock-on's, so I don't worry about my own bikes. Back in the day (early 1980's) Gorilla Snot was the hot product for keeping BMX grips on.
