you install the oversized starnut 2 inches into your bars with a hammer and a piece of piping. you put your bars on the fork. you put the compression bolt in and you tighten it. as for the grips i have no opinion due to the fact that i have never ridden any except edwins which were too soft for me and longnecks which are perfect.

yea just go little by little so you dont over do it. and put the compression bolt in it after every couple taps so you make sure it isnt crooked

GENTLY AND CAREFULLY press/hammer a starnut into the bars just a little farther than the fork goes in, you might want to have a bike shop do it for you. put some threadlock in the starnut. install the fork and put the bolt through the bottom of the fork and into the star nut, you should probably use a locking washer between the bolt and the fork. tighten the bolt however much you want, then tighten the clamps.

get primo martinez grips. best ever.

Bring it to a bike shop. Seriously. Or, just do it slow and you'll be all good, I hope ;)

Longnecks are PERFECT.
