They cut the end off the grips to reinstall the chromed plastic one shot wonder bar end covers? That's different... Super glue should affix them alright. Scuff up the inside of the bar with an emery board to give the glue a fighting chance at some mechanical adhesion.

So just road noise? I was kind of worried about it affecting handling. One thing I noticed after installing the windshield is when I road at high speed into a strong wind, the bike started fishtailing a little bit, as if the wind were pushing the shield back and forth and turning the handlebars slightly in an oscillating manner.
I had no idea they were going to do that to the grips. Thanks for the tip on the superglue. I want to affix a throttle boss to the end of the throttle grip, so I hope it holds.
Now I'm trying to figure out where to mount my iPhone docking station. The handlebar seems overly full.
