    Default Foam Grip Installation

    Foam grips seemed like a good idea for my F3T...until I tried to install them. The instructions seem to indicate they would slip on but getting them over the raised edge seems impossible. Maybe there's a 'trick' to make it happen?
    Thanks!

    Default GRIPS

    Spray water or Windex inside the grips. They will slide on much easier.

    Or use hairspray, it'll be slippery at first and then stick.

    Hand Sanitizer. Really slips great when installing, the alcohol content makes it evaporate when you're done. Really slop it on...

    The instructions with my foam grips recommended hand sanitizer. I couldn't believe how easy they went on with it.

    Spray isopropyl alcohol on the handlebars and the foam grips slip right on. The alcohol dries quickly and residue or issues....
