Stubborn grips

Oddjob:
Fit them the other way round on the sohc grips. Just don’t fit the switchgear.

It still works you just feed the tie wraps in from one end only, the point is when the tie wraps are between the bars and the grips there is less contact area between the two which makes it easier to slip the grips over the tie wraps the once in position you just pull the tie wraps out and your done

I can't figure out what you mean mate!  ;D

Oddjob:
They are fitted so they protrude out of the open end for bar ends but the SOHC grips are closed ends, as in no bar ends fitted. If you fit them in the open end instead on the SOHC grips they’d be trapped by the switchgear or stop just before they were fully slid on. So do that but don’t fit the switchgear or leave the switchgear unscrewed. That way you can do the same as the video but slide the tie wraps out without snagging on the switchgear.
