So, since I have done this procedure literally thousands of times at the Polaris Spirit Lake assembly plant where time is of the essence when you have other stuff to get done on the bike, I thought I'd share a VERY VERY simple pro tip on how we get those buggers on.
RUBBING ALCOHOL
Just pour some down into the grip, give it a couple turns so that it's coated all over the inside, then pop it on.
Works great when doing the foot rests as well. The alcohol makes an excellent lubricant, and will quickly evaporate. It leaves no mess, and no risk of damaging the rubber with petroleum based products, and best of all... IT'S REALLY REALLY CHEAP.
