i put these standard fit grips on my bike n its been over 2-3 months since then and when i ride the grips move slowly away from the bar end into the bars. its pissing me off cuz like every couple of minutes or so i gotta like twist them back into the right spot.

try zip ties.
trim them so they're tight against the bars and there isnt much excess.
that way you dont have to worry about being sliced by the zip tie.

I have some Fit grips that creep up the bars too... I have a compressor so it's no big deal to move 'em back.
You could wire them down
use grip glue
get some grip stops
