Go to ACE hardware or something. Buy some stuff called GOOP. Put a bunch on the bar & some in the grip. DON'T let it dry.
Then push & rotate. They should go on. wipe off the excess GOOP & let them dry.
GOOP works good for me, or call Dennis Kirk or something and buy handgrip glue.
Hope this helps...

I used Honda grip glue. I'm sure other products will work, but take whatever you're using and spread a little on the collar/opening of the grip. This will lubricate the grips and make is a ton easier. Once you have it started, make sure you twist the grip to even out the glue.

Heat the grip up with hot water. Put some grip glue or something like that to hold it on, and slid it on. The hot water makes the grip expand and go on easy. When it cools it will be nice and tight. Thats how I did it.

Clear spray paint and push them on while wet. This also glues them in place.

i think the easiest way to do it is to spray some wd-40 on the bars,then slide it on.when it dries it will be on there nice and firm

Please DO NOT put WD-40 on your bars. USE WINDEX window cleaner--it will help lube on the grips and then it EVAPORATES, WD-40 WON'T. I use this along with Scott Pro Grip glue on my grips.

Here is how I put my Scott ATV grips on my TAG bars:

I worked the grip on with no glue. Then, I rolled it back to the end, (like you know what).
Then, I spread the grip glue on and rolled the grip back onto the bar.
The grips I have, are flange-less, so I don't know how the grips with the large flange will work with that method.

That way keeps the glue from getting all over everything.
