More R60/5 questions

Ok Here is a silly one.

I'm putting new grips on my 1972 R60/5. The foam ones are falling apart.

I got the Magura part number 3272 1230 868 for the right throttle side.

How do you get in on over the throttle ? Lube it with soap , heat it ?

Get some Grip Glue. It'll let the grips slide on then dr y and lock the grips on.

If you have an aircompressor you can float them into place.
Get the grip started on the end, take the airnozzle and place the tip between the grip and the bar and blow. The air will get between the grip and the bar and the grip will slide into place as you push it in.
