Default Fitting new grips

I have just fitted a set on Renthal bars to my bike, but im struggling to get the throttle grip on properly. Im about half way down and she's not budging anymore.

Apart from Renthal grip glue, is there anything i can use to get them to slide on easier but not slip when im riding....

Thanks ya!

Two things you can do, oil up the grip with something for when you put it on... I used just wd40, but even washing up liquid would work, just to break the friction. And jam a long screwdriver in to help work it up. Worked for my on my wifes Renthal grips on her Duke.

WD40 (use the little tube/straw supplied with the tin) down the inside of the grip as you push it on has always done the trick for me.

I tried the WD40 route and it worked a treat. Cheers lads!
