 "Has anybody had any luck or horror stories?"

I can't speak for Awlgrip in particular but I would stay away from duct tape as a rule, it will leave behind a lot of adhesive that's a pain in the butt to remove. It's also not very stable in the sun, UV will make it brittle and even harder to remove pretty quickly.
I had good results on my Trumpy using the plastic that you hit will a hair dryer to shrink and tighten it up, availably at any Lowe's or hardware store. It goes on the inside and uses a clear double sided tape to hold it, I never had any problems removing it in the spring.
