Default Grips

I just bought some Harley grips. How difficult is it to put these grips on myself? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Replaced the ones on my '07 Fatboy - no problem. Carefully cut the old rubber ones off with an exacto knife then slid them off the bars. Cleaned the glue off the bars then slid the new ones on. Getting the throttle cables and housing lined up is a little tricky but with a little patience that was no problem.
