Unhappy ISO Grips from Kuryaky #6235

WARNING!
I put these on my bike yesterday. The little instruction booklet says "to test fit the left grip (not the throttle) for size and to beware that the glue only allows for one quick, smooth installment.
Boy were they right. They forgot however to suggest a remedy when the rubber begins to fold back on itself after the glue has been applied to the bar and you're attempting to install the grip. The glue grabs the rubber and your "stuck" with the grip installation no matter how it turns out. No open work time here. It's applied, the grips installed and you're done. If you stop halfway through to refit the rubber you're dead. Can't go back or forward.
Still looks better then the OEM grip but not as good as I expected.
Too bad.
